Answer:

p(win)=0.00094

Explanation:

-This is a factorial/combination question.

-The probability is calculated using the formula:


p=(x!)/(_nC_x)\\\\

Where:


x is the number of successful picks


n is the total number of picks

Therefore, we calculate the probability as follows;


Pp=(x!)/(_nC_x)\\\\=(7!)/(_(34)C_7)\\\\=0.00094

Hence, the probability of winning is 0.00094
