in a lottery, a player wins or shares in the jackpot by selecting the correct 6-number combination when six different numbers from 1 through 49 are drawn. if a player selects one particular 6-number combination, find the probability of winning the jackpot.

Answer 1

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

1/49 * 1/48 * 1/47 * 1/46 * 1/45 * 1/44 = ?

There is an equation for this, but I don't remember it.
