Answer:
[tex] \frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of matching the number drawn on the gold ball is
[tex] \frac{1}{46} [/tex]
The number of possible pairs of numbers from 1 to 53 is
[tex] \binom{53}{2} = \frac{53 \times 52}{2} = 53 \times 26[/tex]
Choosing 5 numbers, you are choosing 10 different pairs:
[tex] \binom{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2} = 10[/tex]
Therefore the probability of correctly matching the drawn pair is
[tex] \frac{10}{53 \times 26} [/tex]
Thus, the probability of winning (matching the pair AND the gold ball) is
[tex] \frac{10}{53 \times 46 \times 26} [/tex]
