Answer:

A) The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers, where the order in which these integers are selected does not matter, from the positive integers not exceeding 30

Solution: Total integers = 30

No. of integers to be selected = 6

So, The no. of possible ways of selecting 6 integer out of 30 = [tex]^{30}C_6[/tex]

So, The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers :

= [tex]\frac{1}{^{30}C_6}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{593775}[/tex]

B)The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers, where the order in which these integers are selected does not matter, from the positive integers not exceeding 36

Solution: Total integers = 36

No. of integers to be selected = 6

So, The no. of possible ways of selecting 6 integer out of 36 = [tex]^{36}C_6[/tex]

So, The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers :

= [tex]\frac{1}{^{36}C_6}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{1947792}[/tex]

C)The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers, where the order in which these integers are selected does not matter, from the positive integers not exceeding 42

Solution: Total integers = 42

No. of integers to be selected = 6

So, The no. of possible ways of selecting 6 integer out of 42 = [tex]^{42}C_6[/tex]

So, The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers :

= [tex]\frac{1}{^{42}C_6}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{5245786}[/tex]

D)The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers, where the order in which these integers are selected does not matter, from the positive integers not exceeding 48

Solution: Total integers = 48

No. of integers to be selected = 6

So, The no. of possible ways of selecting 6 integer out of 48 = [tex]^{48}C_6[/tex]

So, The probability of winning a lottery by selecting the correct six integers :

= [tex]\frac{1}{^{48}C_6}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{12271512}[/tex]
