Seek the master of probability theory! A simple lottery problem

1. Your total number of basic events is wrong.

It should be n = p n=P( 10/0,5) = 30240,

It means to select 5 tickets from 10 to arrange.

Your m(A 1)=2520 and m(A2)=5040 are all right.

M(A3) is wrong. You should take P (3 3,2) instead of C (3 3,2) and get two. You haven't allocated them yet!

m(A3)=C(4,2)×P(3,2)×7×6 = 6×6×7×6 = 15 12

So the probability is: (2520+5040+1512)/30240 = 3/10.

Second, explain your teacher's methods as follows:

Assuming that all 10 people are taken, the total number of taking methods is P( 10, 10)= 10!

In the process of taking it, it doesn't matter much because of everyone's order. We can number the fifth person as 1 and let him choose first.

Obviously, there are three possibilities for his choice.

So the number of basic events satisfying a is: 3× p (9,9) = 3× p (9!

Thirdly, since this problem is a conditional probability problem, we can also refer to the total probability formula in conditional probability.

Let Bi={ I got the admission ticket in the top 4}

Then p (B0) = (7× 6× 5× 4)/(10× 9× 8× 7) =1/6, and P(A|B0)=3/6= 1/2.

P(B 1)=C(4, 1)×P(3, 1)×7×6×5/( 10×9×8×7)= 1/2,P(A|B 1)=2/6= 1/3

P(B2)=C(4,2)×P(3,2)×7×6/( 10×9×8×7)= 10/3,P(A|B2)= 1/6

P(A|B3)=0

So p (a) = p (b0) p (a | b0)+p (b1) p (a | b1)+p (b2) p (a | b2)+p (b3) p (a | b3).

= 1/6× 1/2+ 1/2× 1/3+3/ 10× 1/6+0=3/ 10
