Six balls are randomly selected from a group of balls numbered from 1 through 40 without replacement.
The random variable x represents the number of matches on your ticket to the numbers drawn in the lottery.
We also want to find the values of n, p, and q, and the possible values of the random variable, if it is binomial experiment.
