Answer:
1 / 89927760
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall :
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
To pick five number for a lottery from the range (1 - 41) ;
For this scenario, selection will be done without replacement
To win lottery , all 5 selections must be matched
P(1st pick) = 1 / 41
P(2nd pick) = 1 /40
P(3rd pick) = 1/39
P(4th pick) = 1/38
P(5th pick) = 1/37
(1/41 * 1/40 * 1/39 * 1/38 * 1/37) = 1 / 89927760
Hence, Probability of winning lottery = 1 / 89927760
