Question

I am fairly certain I have the first part of the problem correct, however I cannot get the second part. I have tried (10C8)/(74C8) which is not the correct answer. I'm not sure exactly what else to try.

(1 point) In the following problem try to get number answers. Since the numbers may be quite large or quite close to zero, you might need to use scientific notation such as 2.3E7 to mean 2.3 1047 2300000 of 5 62E 8 to mean 5,62 8 10rte) 00000056:2 In a certain lottery, a computer rándomly picks 10 distinct secret numbers from the first 74 positive integers. A player of the lottery has to select 8 numbers. If all 8 of them are among the secret numbers, the player wins the grand prize a) From the point of view of the computer that selected the 10 secret numbers, if the player wins the grand prize, all of the player's chosen numbers are in that set of secret numbers. That leaves 2 secret numbers that were not chosen by the player, In how many ways could those 2 secret numbers have been chosen by the computer? 2145 b) Comparing the answer from part a to the total number of ways in which the computer could have chosen the 10 secret numbers, you can find the probability of the player winning the grand prize. That gives a probability of

Explanation / Answer

The answer would be:

P = 10C8/74C10

P = 6.26 * 10^(-11)

Probability is the measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. Probability is quantified as a number between 0 and 1, where, loosely speaking, 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty. The higher theprobability of an event, the more likely it is that the event will occur.
