Probability of winning (any prize) at least once. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Now, focus just on winning the jackpot. There is only 1 winning combination that will win the jackpot. Using the Binomial Distribution, show how the probability of winning the jackpot will change if you were to buy five tickets (assume all five tickets are different; so there cannot be more than one winning ticket in your possession). Remember, you are looking specifically at winning the jackpot, nothing else.
A friend of yours, who is not in a statistics class, tells you the following: "I just bought five Powerball tickets, so I am now five times more likely to win the jackpot than if I bought just one ticket." Are they correct in their reasoning? How would you advise them from a statistical perspective regarding this?
