Question

Winning the jackpot in a particular lottery requires that you select the correct two

numbers between 1 and 65

​and, in a separate​ drawing, you must also select the correct single number between 1 and 35.

Find the probability of winning the jackpot.

Answer 1

Number of ways to succeed: 1*1 = 1

Number of possible outcomes:

(65C2) * 35 = [ 65! / (65-2)! * 2! ] * 35

= 2080 * 35

= 72800

P(win) = 1/72800

Answer :- probability of winning the jackpot is (1/72800).
