Answer:

[tex]286[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: In a certain lottery, [tex]3[/tex] different numbers between [tex]1[/tex] and [tex]13[/tex] inclusive are drawn. These are the winning numbers.

TO FIND: How many different selections are possible.

SOLUTION:

Total different numbers [tex]=13[/tex]

Total number to select [tex]=3[/tex]

As order does not matter

Total different selection possible [tex]=13C_3[/tex]

                                                       [tex]=\frac{13!}{10!3!}[/tex]

                                                      [tex]=\frac{13\times12\times11}{6}[/tex]

                                                      [tex]=286[/tex]

There are [tex]286[/tex] ways in which different selection is possible.
