My state's lottery has 30 white balls numbered from 1 through 30 and 20 red balls numbered from 1 through 20. In each lottery drawing, 3 of the white balls and 2 of the red balls are drawn. To win, you must match all 3 white balls and both red balls, without regard to the order in which they were drawn. How many possible different combinations may be drawn?

Answer:

I dont give you the answer right away so you will read what i write and fully understand :D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are picking 3 balls from 30 balls, so its C(30,3) because the order of picking the balls doesnt matter. We also need to pick 2 balls from 20 balls, which is C(20,2). So the answer is C(30,3) * C(20,2).
