When you see "at least one", this means to find the probability of the complement event, which is "none at all" and then subtract that probability from 1. So we first work this problem: If 7 cards are dealt from an ordinary desk of 52 playing cards, what is the probability that NONE OF THEM will be a queen? That is the probability of selecting 7 of the 48 non-queens. The numerator of that probability is "48 Choose 7" or C(48,7) The denominator of that probability is "52 Choose 7" or C(52,7)= ≈ .5504 So the probability you want is ≈ 1 - .5504 = .4496 Edwin
