Question

What is the probability of choosing six lottery numbers that match six randomly selected balls when the balls are numbered 1 through 36? Either provide a reduced fraction for your answer or provide 2 significant digits.

Answer 1

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of balls = 36

We want to choose six randomly selected balls.

The probability of choosing six lottery numbers will therefore be:

`\begin{gathered} =\frac{\text{Number of balls selected}}{Total\text{ number of balls}} \\ =(6)/(36) \\ =(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`
