Answer

a) $1.68×10^{−6} $ b) $5.13×10^{−7} $ c) $1.91×10^{−7} $ d) $8.15×10^{−8} $

Work Step by Step

a) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 6 out of the 6 correct integers and none of the remaining 24 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{6}\binom{24}{6}}{\binom{30}{6}}=\frac{1}{\binom{30}{6}}=1.68×10^{−6} $ b) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 6 out of the 6 correct integers and none of the remaining 30 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{6}\binom{30}{6}}{\binom{36}{6}}=\frac{1}{\binom{36}{6}}=5.13×10^{−7} $ c) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 6 out of the 6 correct integers and none of the remaining 36 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{6}\binom{36}{6}}{\binom{42}{6}}=\frac{1}{\binom{42}{6}}=1.91×10^{−7} $ d) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 6 out of the 6 correct integers and none of the remaining 42 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{6}\binom{42}{6}}{\binom{48}{6}}=\frac{1}{\binom{48}{6}}=8.15×10^{−8} $
