To play the lottery in a certain state, a person has to correctly select 5 out of 45 numbers, paying a $1 for each five-number selection. What is the probability that a person with one combination of the five numbers will win?
What is the probability of winning if 100 different lottery tickets are purchased?

There are 45 numbers out of which 5 numbers are required to win an enormous sum of money

No of ways  in which 5 numbers can be selected out of 45 numbers.

out of which there is only combination foe contest winning

When 100 different tickets are bought then

Probability of winning:

Probably of winning≈0,000082

P.S. Hello from Russia :^)

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
