Question

In a state lottery, 28 balls are numbered 1-28. Eight of them are randomly selected without replacement. To win, you only need to match the eight numbers drawn. Calculate the probability of winning this lottery if you purchase one ticket.

Answer 1

2/7

Explanation:

Each time you play, you get 1 number. Since 8/28 numbers win, you have a 8/28 chance to win if you buy one ticket. 8/28 = 2/7
