In a certain lottery, five different numbers between 1 and 35 inclusive are drawn. These are the winning numbers. To win the lottery, a person must select the correct 5 numbers in the same order in which they were drawn. What is the probability of winning

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

---- 1 to 35

-- selection

Required

The probability of winning

The probability of getting the first number correctly is:

At this point, the remaining numbers are 34

So, the second selection has the following probability

Following the above sequence, we have:

So, the required probability is:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
