Actual Lottery Results
Versus
Theoretical Calculation
I have shown that combinations don't have an equal chance of getting drawn
from a theoretical point of view.
Now, let's prove it by comparing our calculation with the actual lottery
results.
As I said, we use probability to measure how likely a combination will occur
in a given number of draws. So by multiplying probability value by a certain
number of draws, we get the expected frequency of any type of combination
in that given number of draws.
Expected frequency = Probability x number of draws
And to prove that our theoretical calculation is correct, the expected
frequency should closely match with the actual frequency.
