PART C- Combinatorics: Recall that the Combinations Rule gives the number of ways of selecting items from a collection on n distinct items (where the order does not matter). The formula for computing this is.C = n1/[(n-r)Irl]. For example, in Excel, sC can be computed by clicking in an empty cell and typing "-COMBIN(5,2)". Type this now and verify the result equals 10. Fill in the blanks using "=COMBIN(n,r)" in Excel: 1. In a lottery, 6 distinct numbers will be chosen from 1 to 42. How many lottery combinations are possible? That is, compute.C. =_5245786 2. From #1, if you buy one lottery ticket, what is the probability you will win?
