Enclosed are examples of the Florida Lotto Fantasy 5 which is 5 numbers
from 1 thru 36.

I am trying to figure out which 2 numbers appear TOGETHER the most frequently
as well as the 3 numbers that appear TOGETHER the most frequently.

The data set is.

1. All time numbers- 9260 results
2. The last 5 year numbers- 1461 results


I need = sign formulas for the areas in green.

Sure sorry that was the wrong image. Here it is...

Answers are 1 and 7 or 1,7,22.

I am a real estate investor- so I do not gamble- but my GM-IN-LAW
does. So, at least when she is playing with us once per week spending
$5 each time, it makes sense to at least attempt to win at the Florida
Fantasy 5.

So, we will be doing 1, 7, 22 and then the other two numbers
will be 1 even and 1 odd number.

So, now I guess I should figure out the probability of guessing
the correct combination of 1 odd and 1 even if there are
33 numbers left, considering 1, 7 and 22 were already guessed.



Thanks!
