Question

Five cards are dealt from a regular deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a full house: three cards of one kind and two of another kind? Do NOT round your answer.

(Recall that a regular deck of 52 cards consists of 13 kinds/denominations, each having 4 suits: ♥, ♦, ♣ ♠.)

Write your answer as

ans = <some expression>

Answer 1

Five cards are dealt from a regular deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a full house: three cards of one kind and two of another kind? Do NOT round your answer.

ans = (13/52)*((12/51)*(4/50)*(3/49)*(4/48))

ans = (13/52)((12/51)(4/50)(3/49)(4/48))
