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.

What is the probability of 6 any numbers in lottery of 40 numbers?
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 that you pour all red m and ms from a red and green only bag?
Very low. If you start with a bag of 40 green and 40 red, the probability of getting a red is 40 in 80. The probability of getting the next one is 39 in 79. The probability of getting the next one is 38 in 78. And so on and so forth. Calculating for 10 reds: 40/80 39/79 38/78 37/77 36/76 35/75 34/74 33/73 32/72 31/71 = 0.0005148
