To win the lottery, one must correctly select six numbers from a collection of 50 numbers (one through 50 ). The order in
which the selection is made, does not matter. The number of different possible selections is
Select one:
a. 15890700 .
b. 2300 .
c. 300 .
d. 13800 .

The total number of combinations for selecting six numbers from 50 can be calculated using the formula for combinations: C(n, k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!), where n is the total number of items to choose from, and k is the number of items to choose. In this case, it translates to C(50, 6), which yields 15,890,700. So, your answer is (a) 15890700.

Many people dream about hitting the jackpot, but the odds are fierce! In fact, the chances of winning a typical lottery can be millions to one. Instead of relying on luck alone, consider playing games with better odds, like scratch tickets or state lotteries, where the prize may be smaller but the odds of winning are much better!
