C) 1/10,000,000
The Counting Principle states that if there are "n" ways to do one thing and "m" ways to do another, then there are n x m ways to do both. In this case, there are 10 numbers to choose from for the first number, 9 for the second, 8 for the third, and so on until the 7th number, which has 4 choices.
Therefore, the total number of ways to choose the seven numbers is 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 = 10,000,000.
Since there is only one winning combination of numbers, the probability of choosing the winning numbers is 1/10,000,000.
Use the Counting Principle to find the probability of choosing the 7 winning lottery numbers when the numbers are chos
A 1/1000000
B 1/4,782,969
C1/10,000,000
D 1/100,000,000
1/(100000, 0)
