in the superlottery, three balls are drawn (at random, without replacement) from ten white balls numbered from to , and one superball is drawn (at random) from ten red balls numbered from to . when you buy a ticket, you choose three numbers from to and one number from to . if the numbers on your ticket match the three white balls and the red superball, then you win the jackpot. (you don't need to match the white balls in order). what is the probability that you win the jackpot?



Answer :

The probability that you win the jackpot is 0.00083.

What is probability?

The probability of an event or several events occurring is known as probability. A straightforward formula can be used to compute probability, which is the likelihood of obtaining a specific result.

The possibility of an event occurring divided by the number of anticipated outcomes of the event is another way to define probability. When there are several events, probability is calculated by dividing each likelihood into individual, single computations, multiplying each result, and then adding the results to produce the one potential outcome.

Number of white balls = 10

Number of white balls drawn = 3

Number of red balls = 10

Number of red balls drawn = 1

Probability that first ball drawn is white = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Probability that second ball drawn is white (without replacement) = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Probability that third ball drawn is white (without replacement) = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Probability of drawing red ball = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Probability that you win jackpot = [tex]\frac{3}{10}*\frac{2}{9}*\frac{1}{8}*\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
