Here are the probabilities for all possible outcomes. If the random variable x is the number of odd numbers appearing in a single draw, then the Mean is 2.56 and the standard deviation is 1.06.

The theoretical probabilities for a single draw are as follows:

P(1 odd / 4 even) = 1360 / 10101 = 0.1346 = 13.46%

P(4 odd / 1 even) = 1615 / 10101 = 0.1599 = 15.99%

P(all even) = 68 / 3367 = 0.0201 = 2.01%

P(all odd) = 272 / 10101 = 0.0269 = 2.69%

A probabilities for a succession of draws will follow the Binomial Distribution. The standard deviation for a given event with probability P is sqrt[P*(1-P)/n] where n is the number of draws. If you're saying that all odd has 3.4... [ More ]

Statistics from here in Missouri Show Me Cash, which is a 5/39 game with 5115 historical draws, shows 1 odd/4 even is 13.4% and 4 odd/1 even at 15%... Toss in 2% for all even and another 3.4% for all odd and you have the aprox tails of your typical standard deviation distribution curve... How does that work out for the lotto games games you play

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you found this useful, G5. I have to disagree about your rationale for not playing them, though. The lottery is concerned with matching numbers, not patterns or abstract concepts such as the classification of a pattern. The combo 12-14-16-18-20 really is just as likely to be drawn as the more randomish (technical term ) combo 3-5-12-29-31.

As a thought experiment, let's give the more randomish combo 3-5-12-29-31 its own classification: sets where the di... [ More ]

The probability of such a consecutive sequence is 1/11781, which is 32/COMBIN(36,5). The cumulative probability of the 1st occurrence of this event on drawing 7722 or before, according to the Negative Binomial distribution, is 48.1%, which is close to the median (50%). There is nothing particularly unusual about what occurred.

This ought to be a question put to first graders to determine if they should graduate to second grade.

Right! That's exactly why I made a promise to myself to self educate

Nothing says I have to be in a classroom and pass a test on the coursework and be formally granted a degree.

I like Google because it brings the library to me. No more Dewey Decimal System! G5

The above post is very likely the single best post I've ever seen on The Lottery Post. Thanks very much for going the extra mile and giving me info on linear progressions that I hadn't even considered or even knew of. (Which is more the case... I wasn't a fan of math in school. I knew it could be fascinating as Hell, but because I didn't want to be a good student, I basically didn't bother to study it. I'm the type of guy that got a 'C' without cracking a book. I've often wondered what my grades... [ More ]

Raven got the number for consecutive number combos. Stat$ is talking out his a$$ as usual.

Even though you didn't ask for it, here's a little more analysis of combos that form a linear progression in FL Fantasy 5 (aka, each number differs by the same amount when they are arranged in numerical order). Consecutive numbers are just one type of linear progression.

Differ by 1 (ex: 1-2-3-4-5): 32 combos (this is what you're looking at) Differ by 2 (ex: 4-6-8-10-12): 28 combos (consecutiv... [ More ]

Don't nobody do NUTHIN!! I figured it out! There are 32 combo's in a 5/36 matrix of five numbers in sequence. I just wrote all of 'em out on a piece of paper.

For some stupid reason, I was thinking there were way more than 32. But then, I'm The Stupid One.... G5

Yes I know there are 376,990 combos between 1 2 3 4 5 and 32 33 34 35 36 Stalker!

But how many combos out of the 376,992 total combo's have 5 numbers in sequence? Combo's that look like this === 14 15 16 17 18? THAT is my question!

I've been doing a little thinking... that's rare for me.... and maybe I can figure it out if I just take a little time and write out them on paper. Maybe there aren't as many as I think there might be. G5

Wish I could knock out some lines of code to count the number of five number lines that are in sequence in a 5/36 matrix but I cant. Anybody got a program or can put one together without laboring over it for hours? Thanks in advance. G5

How many combos in sequence for 5/36 matrix?

GiveFive — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 21:28:48 GMT

Does anybody know how to calculate the number of combos of five numbers in sequence for a 5/36 matrix?

For instance 1 2 3 4 5 is the first combo and 32 33 34 35 36 is the last combo. How many combos of five numbers in sequence are between those two? Thanks. G5

Not that I'm actually gonna play five numbers in sequence. In Florida Fantasy5 it's happened once when 14 15 16 17 18 came out on 3/21/2011. That's out of 7,722 drawings since 7/16/2001.
