The number of ways to pick 6 different numbers from 1 to 42 in a state lottery is 5,245,786. assuming order is unimportant, what is the probability of picking exactly 4 of the 6 numbers correctly?

The probability of picking exactly 4 of the 6 numbers correctly is

Step-by-step explanation:

As order is unimportant, we have to calculate the different outcomes with combinations formula:

The total outcomes of picking exactly 4 of the 6 numbers is:

The probability of picking exactly 4 of the 6 numbers correctly is given by:

Total outcomes by picking 6 numbers from 1 to 42: 5245786

P(4 of the 6 numbers are correct)=

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1

its (2) option
