Q1.

Tina randomly selects two distinct numbers from the set { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }, and Sergio randomly selects a number from the set { 1, 2, ... , 10 }. What is the probability that Sergio's number is larger than the sum of the two numbers chosen by Tina?

Answer must be a floating-point or integer value and precision error less than 10^-6 is allowed.

Answer must be a floating-point or integer value and precision error less than 10^-6 is allowed.

Q4.

Professor Gamble buys a lottery ticket, which requires that he pick six different integers from 1 through 46, inclusive. He chooses his numbers so that the sum of the base-ten logarithms of his six numbers is an integer. It so happens that the integers on the winning ticket have the same property— the sum of the base-ten logarithms is an integer. What is the probability that Professor Gamble holds the winning ticket?

Answer must be a floating-point or integer value and precision error less than 10^-6 is allowed.
