Any help to this problem would be most helpful

basically:-
There are 36 numbers from 1-36

6 random numbers are generated from the 36

how do i work out the probabilty of choosing 1 number from 1-36 and it
being in the 6 random generated numbers from the 36

and picking 2 numbers and they are in the 6 random generated numbers
from the 36

and so on up to 6 numbers being chosen and all 6 match the 6 generated
numbers from 1 - 36

I'm sure it's something to do with the COMBIN function but keep getting
muddled up.

Many Thanks for any helpful suggestions

:)
 
Assuming that you don't allow repeats in either the random numbers or
the subsequent sample, wouldn't the requsted probabilities be
hypergeometric?
