Final Answer: The correct options are: 'The experiment is the computer randomly generating a number for a lottery ticket.', 'A trial is one number generated.', 'An outcome is the number 2 being generated.', and 'The outcome is the number being randomly generated.'

Steps

Step 1 :The question is asking to identify the correct experiment, trial, and outcome in the context of a lottery game where a computer randomly generates numbers 1 through 100 and every lottery ticket has 7 numbers on it.

Step 2 :The experiment in this context would be the process of generating the numbers for a lottery ticket. A trial would be one instance of this process, i.e., generating one number. The outcome would be the result of each trial, i.e., the specific number that is generated.

Step 3 :Evaluating each of the given options based on this understanding: The experiment is the computer randomly generating a number for a lottery ticket - This is correct as it describes the overall process of generating numbers for the lottery game.

Step 4 :The experiment is the computer randomly generating a number less than 10 - This is incorrect as the experiment involves generating numbers between 1 and 100, not just less than 10.

Step 5 :A trial is one number generated - This is correct as each number generated can be considered one instance or trial of the experiment.

Step 6 :The trial is identifying the number generated - This is incorrect as the trial is the process of generating the number, not identifying it.

Step 7 :An outcome is the number 2 being generated - This is correct as the specific number generated (in this case 2) is the result or outcome of a trial.

Step 8 :The outcome is the number being randomly generated - This is correct as the specific number generated is the result or outcome of a trial.

Step 9 :Final Answer: The correct options are: 'The experiment is the computer randomly generating a number for a lottery ticket.', 'A trial is one number generated.', 'An outcome is the number 2 being generated.', and 'The outcome is the number being randomly generated.'
