Winning requires that you get the same are drawn, and they must be in the same order. ticket? a. What is the probability of winning Pick 3 lottery if you buy a single three-digit ticket? a three-digit b. What is the probability of not winning a Pick 3 lottery if you buy a single each ticket has a c. What is the probability of not winning on each of 10 different tickets if single three-digit selection? nd to construct confidence

Explanation / Answer

a)

no of digits = 10

no of possible ways to draw three digits from 10 digits when order is important = 10*9*8 = 720

probability of winning a pick 3 lottery if you buy a single ticket = 1/720 = 0.0014

b)

probability of not winning a pick 3 lottery if you buy a single ticket = 1 -1/720 = 1-0.0014 = 0.9986

c)

no of possible drawings that are not in 10 slections in tickets = 720-10 = 710

probabiltiy of not winning on each of 10 different tickets if each ticket has a single three-digit selction = 710/720 = 0.9861
