Answer

A) 0.350 B) 0.427 C) 0.489 D) 0.540

Work Step by Step

a) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 0 out of the 6 correct integers and choose 6 of the remaining 34 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{0}\binom{34}{6}}{\binom{40}{6}}=0.350 $ b) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 0 out of the 6 correct integers and choose 6 of the remaining 42 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{0}\binom{42}{6}}{\binom{48}{6}}=0.427 $ c) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 0 out of the 6 correct integers and choose 6 of the remaining 50 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{0}\binom{50}{6}}{\binom{56}{6}}=0.489 $ d) Use binomial coefficients to compute the probability. Choose 0 out of the 6 correct integers and choose 6 of the remaining 50 integers. This can be done in $\frac{\binom{6}{0}\binom{58}{6}}{\binom{64}{6}}=0.540 $ $
