A state runs a lottery in which 6 numbers are randomly selected from 40, without replacement. A player chooses 6 numbers before the state\'s sample is selected. What is the probability that the 6 numbers chosen by a player match all 6 numbers in the state\'s sample? Is the random variable in the question continuous or discrete? Continuous No answer text provided No answer text provided Discrete

Solution

THE RANDOM VARIABLE IN THE QUESTION IS DISCRETE

WHY?

BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE THE PLAYER CHOOSES 6 NUMBERS

AND THERE ARE ONLY 40

THERE ARE WHOLE NUMBER, THE VARIABLE CAN TAKE ONLY VALUES LIKE THAT

IF THESE WAS A CONTINUOUS VARIABLE, IT WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE VALUES LIKE 5.5 , 4.58 ETC

BUT NOT FOR THIS CASE BECAUSE THE NUMBERS ARE WHOLE
