Hello, this is my first post ever here and I hope one of you might be able to answer me.
I've been doing this basic Statistics Project and I'm puzzled as to how to calculate the probabilities for winning numbers. Even more so since I live in Holland and I'm using the Dutch Lotto as framework. Here the Lotto is 6/45. However, there is a 7th Bonus and Colour ball which gives a little extra.
So, you can get:
All 6 numbers or
5 numbers + colour + bonus (the bonus ball decides the colour)
5 numbers + bonus
5 numbers + colour
5 numbers
so on...
to at last 2 matching numbers.
How would I calculate the probabilities for obtaining each? If not for this game, how about for a 6/4X game? Are there any sites out there which can help me out on this? Thx for reading.
