One of your friends likes buying scratch off lottery tickets. One day, upon reading in the fine print that the probability that any given ticket is a winner is one in a thousand, he wistfully wishes aloud that he could afford one thousand tickets so that he could be sure to win.

(1 point) A certain senior citizen purchases 51, "6-49" lottery tickets a week, where each ticket consists of a different six-number combination. The probability that this senior will win - (to win at least three of the six numbers on the ticket must match the six-number winning combination) on any ticket is about 0.018638. What probability distribution would be appropriate for finding the probability of any individual ticket winning? Part (a) How many winning tickets can the senior expect to...
