If you are dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, what is the probability that you get a full house, 3 of a kind and 2 of a kind (Example QQQ88)?
-------------------
Pick a card type: 13 ways
-----
Pick 3 of that card type: 4C3 = 4
-----
Pick a different card type: 12 ways
-----
Pick 2 of that card type: 4C2 = 6 ways
----------------------------------------------
# of ways to succeed: 13*4*12*6 = 3744
---------
# of random 5 cards sets: 52C5 = 2598960
----
P(full house) = 3744/2598960 = 0.0014
