What is the probability of having these 2 sets of numbers with 4 digits the same and 1 unique digit? Thank you.

The probability of matching numbers in a lottery drawing depends on the specific lottery game and the number of numbers you are trying to match. For example, the probability of matching all six numbers in the Powerball lottery is approximately 1 in 292 million.
The probability of matching numbers is calculated by dividing the number of possible outcomes (i.e. the number of ways the numbers can be drawn) by the total number of possible combinations. For example, in a lottery with 49 numbers and 6 numbers drawn, the probability of matching all 6 numbers would be 1 divided by 13,983,816.
There are three main types of probability for matching numbers: theoretical, experimental, and subjective. Theoretical probability is based on mathematical calculations, while experimental probability is based on actual trials or experiments. Subjective probability is based on personal belief or opinion.
If you purchase multiple entries in a lottery, your overall probability of matching numbers will increase. However, this does not guarantee a win as each entry is still subject to the overall probability of matching numbers in the specific lottery game.
No, probability cannot be used to predict future matching numbers. Each lottery drawing is a random event and the probability of matching numbers remains the same for each drawing. Past results do not impact future outcomes.
