a) If there are numbers between 1 and 49, and 6 are to be drawn at random, what are the possible number of outcomes?
b) Imagine if I write 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 on a note book, and 1 - 49 written on small pieces (i.e. 49 small pieces of paper of paper) kept in a box, what is the probability that the 6 numbers i draw from the box are:
i) the same 6 number
ii) 5 matching numbers
iii) 4 matching numbers
iv) 3 matching numbers
v) 2 matching numbers
vi) 1 matching numbers
vii) no matching numbers
C) does the number of possible outcomes have an effect on the probability of matching numbers?
P.S. numbers once drawn cannot be repeated and I know it is not a permutation question. so 49P6 is not the right answer for the first question.
please give formulae aswell
