Find the probability of winning second prize—that is, picking five of the six winning numbers—with a 6/52 lottery. ( write your answer as a fraction.)

probability = 1/2,598,960

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways of picking r items from a set of n items is denoted by

picks = n!/r!(n-r)!

picks = 52·51·50·49·48/5·4·3·2·1

picks = 311,875,200/120 = 2,598,960

1 chance in 2,598,960

probability = 1/2,598,960

 probability = 1/2,598,960

Solution:

= 6/52

= (52*51*50*49*48)/(5*4*3*2*1)

= 311875200/120

= 2598960

Or 1/2598960 in winning the lottery

Best of Luck!
