Find the number of possible 5-card hands that contain the cards specified. The cards are taken from a standard 52-card deck.
Note:: # of 5-card hands = 52C5
--------------------------
a) 4 kings and 1 other card.:: 1*48 = 48 hands
---------------------------
b) At least 1 spade::
# with zero spades:: 39C5
# with one spade:: 13*39C4
Ans:: 52C5 - [39C5 + 13*39C4]
