The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers from the positive integers not exceeding 50 is 6 × 10–8.

What is the probability?

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty.

The sample-set S consists of all combinations of 6 distinct elements of the set of 50 elements, and;

[tex]\rm |S| =C(50, 6)=\dfrac{50!}{44!6!}[/tex]

The winning event E ⊆ S is just one winning combination, so that

|E| = 1.

Therefore, the probability of winning a lottery is;

[tex]\rm P(E)=\dfrac{|E|}{|S|}\\\\ P(E)=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{50!}{44!6!}}\\\\\\ P(E)=\dfrac{44!6!}{50!}\\\\ P(E)= 6 \times 10 {-8}[/tex]

Hence, The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers from the positive integers not exceeding 50 is 6 × 10–8.
