The probability of picking the first number correctly is 1/56, since zero is included. Since the numbers are not replaced, the probability of the second is 1/55, the third, 1/54 and so on.
The probability of all events occurring is obtained by multiplying the individual probabilities.
The probability of either one event or another occurring is found by adding the probability of the individual events.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
