Question

n the Cash Now lottery game there are 10 finalists who submitted entry tickets on time. From these 10 tickets, three grand prize winners will be drawn. The first prize is one million dollars, the second prize is one hundred thousand dollars, and the third prize is ten thousand dollars. Determine the total number of different ways in which the winners can be drawn. (Assume that the tickets are not replaced after they are drawn.)

Answer 1

The total number of different ways in which the winners can be drawn is 720.

Step-by-step explanation:

P (10,3) =
`(10!)/((10-3)!)`

=
`(10!)/(7!)`

= 10(9)(8)

= 720
