To win at LOTTO in a certain state, one must correctly select 6 numbers from a collection of 55numbers (one through 55.) The order in which the selections are made does not matter. How many different selections are possible?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Number of different selection = 50C6

Number of different selection = 50 x 49 x 48 x 47 x 46 x 45

Number of different selection = 15 890 700

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of the different ways of selections are possible will be 28,989,675.

What are permutation and combination?

A permutation is an act of arranging items or elements in the correct order. Combinations are a way of selecting items or pieces from a group of objects or sets when the order of the components is immaterial.

To win at LOTTO in a certain state, one must correctly select 6 numbers from a collection of 55numbers (one through 55).

The order in which the selections are made does not matter.

Then the number of the different ways of selections are possible will be

⇒ ⁵⁵C₆

⇒ (55!) / [(55 - 6!) × 6!]

⇒ (55 × 54 × 53 × 52 × 51 × 50 × 49!) / [49! × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1]

⇒ 11 × 3 × 53 × 13 × 51 × 25

⇒ 28,989,675

Thus, the number of the different ways of selections are possible will be 28,989,675.
