the counting principle in math!! HEELP!?
#2 choosing the three winning lottery numbers when the numbers are chosen at random for 1 to 50. NUmbers can repeat.
Favorite Answer
(number of favorable outcomes) / (number of possible outcomes)
So you need to count how many ways there are to get it right and divide by the number of possibilities.
#1 When rolling 2 dice (number cubes) there are 36 possibilities. One of these is double 3’s. So the probability of that happening is 1/36.
#2 There is again only one way to win. This time, there are 50*50*50 = 12500 total possibilities. So the probability is 1/12,500.
(By the way, 50*49*48 would be the number of possibilities of the numbers could NOT repeat.)
I hope this helps!
50 times 49 times 48 equals 117600 divided by 2 equals 58800 since it is a combination
