(d) 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Find the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery, where the order in which these integers are selected does not matter, from the positive integers not exceeding a) 40. b) 48. c) 56. d) 64.

Solution:

(a)

There are n = 40 positive integers.

Compute the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery as follows:

[tex]P(\text{0 Correct integers})=\frac{{6\choose 0}\cdot {34\choose 6}}{{40\choose 6}}=\frac{1344904}{3838380}=0.35038\approx 0.35[/tex]

(b)

There are n = 48 positive integers.

Compute the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery as follows:

[tex]P(\text{0 Correct integers})=\frac{{6\choose 0}\cdot {42\choose 6}}{{48\choose 6}}=\frac{5245786}{12271512}=0.42748\approx 0.43[/tex]

(c)

There are n = 56 positive integers.

Compute the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery as follows:

[tex]P(\text{0 Correct integers})=\frac{{6\choose 0}\cdot {50\choose 6}}{{56\choose 6}}=\frac{15890700}{32468436}=0.48942\approx 0.49[/tex]

(d)

There are n = 56 positive integers.

Compute the probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery as follows:

[tex]P(\text{0 Correct integers})=\frac{{6\choose 0}\cdot {58\choose 6}}{{64\choose 6}}=\frac{40475358}{74974368}=0.53986\approx 0.54[/tex]

Probability of selecting none of the six integers in a lottery is 0.35

Probability based problem:

Assuming that number n = 40.

n = 40 as a positive integer

Probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery = C(34 , 6) / C(40 , 6)

Probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery = 1344904 / 3838380

Probability of selecting none of the correct six integers in a lottery = 0.35
