How to calculate lotto odds?
There is a game similar to Keno , where 10 out of 40 numbers are selected.
The player can choose his set of up to 10 numbers and, depending on the number of selected and guessed numbers, his bet is multiplied by a different coefficient. For example, the player has chosen 3 numbers. Then his chances are:
100 / вероятность
. It turns out:2.271 * 44.028 = $99.9
- i.e. the entire prize fund. And they guess the 2nd and 3rd numbers - there, too, each option spends $100. Total payouts are 3 times higher than the bets made. Answer the question

10 out of 40 are randomly chosen by the machine, 3 out of 40 are chosen by the player. It is necessary, for example, to find the probability of falling out only 2.
The total number of cases C(10,40) * C(3,40)
- we divide the number of favorable options by it. This is a choice of 10 winning C(10,40); out of 10 you need to choose 2 hits C(2,10); from the remaining 30, you need to choose 1 missed C(1,30) and multiply them all. Total
Q(40,10,3,2) = C(10,40) * C(2,10) * C(1,30) / (C(10,40) * C(3,40))
Surely something can be cut down nicely. C(N, M) = M! / ( N! * (M-N)! )
