Question 1206284: A standard deck has 52 playing cards—4 cards each of 13 different denominations (ace, two, three, . . . , ten, jack, queen, and
king). You and a friend decide to play a game in which you each start with 5 cards. Suppose you shuffle the deck well and deal
out 5 cards to you and your friend. You are surprised when you look at your hand and see three aces (along with two non-aces).

Before you get bad-mouthed for not asking a question,
I will assume your question is "What is the probability
of getting such a hand?"

The 3 aces can be chose 4C3 ways.
For each of those ways the 2 non-aces can be chosen from 
the 48 non-aces in 48C2 ways.

The number of ways any 5 cards could be chosen is 52C5, 
so the answer is

.  Work that out.
