What is the probability you hold the winning ticket? How many tickets should you buy to give yourself a 1% chance of winning the lottery? A 10% chance? A 25% chance? A 50% chance? What is the probability all 6 numbers are even? At least one number is odd? What is the probability each number will be a single digit? What is the probability your birthday will be the winning ticket? (mm,dd,yy) Complete parts 1 -5 again under the assumption the order of the digits is irrelevant. How are your chances of winning affected? Better? Worse?
