Assuming there are six numbers drawn out of the set from 1 to 49, without replacement:

There are 15 out of 49 of these numbers that are prime. So the probability would be

(15 - 9)! / (49 - 43)! = (15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10) / (49 * 48 * 47 * 46 * 45 * 44)

= (24325271111131) / (27335172111231471) = (5 * 13) / (8 * 3 * 7 * 23 * 47)

= 65 / 181608

What is the probability of getting 6 numbers in a lottery of 40 numbers?

Think of watching the lottery draw. You have 6 numbers and there are 40 to draw from. On the first pick, you have a 6/40 chance of getting a match. If you're successful, then on the second pick you have a 5/39 chance on the next pick (because one number is gone from your card and the draw), and so on. Because all of the events are required to happen for you to get your 6 numbers, we multiply the individual probabilities together to get the overall probability. 6/40 x 5/39 x 4/38 x 3/37 x 2/36 x 1/35 = 1/3838380 So the chance of getting all six numbers is a little better than 1 in 4 million.

The answer depends on how many cards are drawn. If 40 are drawn without replacement, from a normal deck, the probability is 1. If 3 are drawn the probability is 0!


The probability that an individual is left handed is 0.11 In a class of 40 students what is the probability of finding five left handers?

If the probability of a person being left handed is .11, then the probability of a person being right handed is .89 (1.00 - .11). In a class of 40 people, there are 40! (40 factorial) = 40 x 39 x 38 x .... x 3 x 2 x 1 possible Permutations of students. Within this number, there are many that will yield exactly 5 left handed people. 40-P-5 is the number of Permutations of 5 within a class of 40 (sorry, can't use the correct formating here!): = 40! / (40 - 5) ! = 40! / 35! = 40 x 39 x 38 x 37 x 36 Since we don't care about order..... we need to factor out the number of identical permutations. 40-C-5 = 40-P-5 / 5! So.... (40 x 39 x 38 x 37 x 36) / (5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 658,008 Now, what is the probability of any one such combination? (.89 to the power 35) x (.11 to the power 5) = 0.000000273 So the probability of exactly 5 left handed people in the class is 658,008 x .000000273 = 17.9408137 %
