Well let's start with a simple problem (maybe with the use of calculators)!
There are 
people in a town which is holding a two-day lottery. Each person will get a ticket with a set of 
different numbers, each being a positive integer between 
and 
, inclusive. If your ticket is drawn on the first day, you will win your prize, and you cannot win another prize because your ticket has been thrown out. You have taken a ticket that is pictured like this: ![\[\boxed{\text{6 15 26 32 45 49}}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/6/f/e6f1f4c40c4e8addaf848440a1945df05d8f8883.png)
What is the probability that this ticket was drawn on either of the two days of the lottery?
