A hint to get started
Condition a hypergeometric count on at least one match
A box contains 45 balls distinctly labelled 1 to 45. Seven are drawn randomly without replacement and their labels are the winning numbers. Andy randomly chooses eight distinct integers from 1 to 45.
(i) Show that the probability none of Andy’s numbers matches the winning numbers is 0.227. mark
(ii) Hence find the probability exactly four match, given at least one match. marks
