Answer
a) $\frac{1}{575757}$
b)$\frac{1}{1000}$
c) 1000
Work Step by Step
a) Because the order is not important, we can use the combination rule to determine the number of possibilities: $\frac{39!}{(39-5)!5!}=575757.$
We also know that $probability=\frac{number \ of \ good \ outcomes}{number\ of\ all\ outcomes}$, therefore $P=\frac{1}{575757}$.
b)By using the fundamental counting rule(knowing that there are 10 digits) we can get the number of possibilities: $10\cdot 10\cdot 10=1000$. We also know that $probability=\frac{number \ of \ good \ outcomes}{number\ of\ all\ outcomes}$, therefore $P=\frac{1}{1000}$.
c) By using the properties of b), then 1 out of 1000 tickets is a winner, hence if there is no profit the return should be equal to the price of 1000 tickets which is 1000.
