A poker hand consisting of 8 cards is dealt from a standard deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that the hand contains exactly 4 face cards.
--------------------------
# of face cards:: 3*4 = 12
# of cards:: 52
-----
# of ways to get 4 face:: 12C4
# of ways to get 4 non-face:: 40C4
---------------------
P(exactly 4 face) = [12C4*40C4/52C8] = 0.0611
