One of the UK lottery systems consists of selecting six numbers from forty-nine for a one-pound stake. The winning numbers are drawn at random and the order is not important. Determine the probability that a randomly selected set of six numbers will win the lottery.

4.167 × 10-6
8.63 × 10-7
5.467 × 10-6
7.15 × 10-8

As in this problem the order of numbers does not matter We are talking about a combination and not to permutation.
 So to determine the probability that a set of six randomly selected numbers wins the lottery we need to first draw the combination of 6 in 49 without repetition:
 C (49.6) = 49! / (6! (49-6)!) = 13983816
 Then there are 13983816 combinations of possible numbers for this case.
 Finally the probability is:
 p = 1/13983816
 p = 7,151 x10 ^ -8
 The correct option is the last

Answer:

The last answer is correct
