Question 1171513: Find the probability of getting 8 face cards (king, queen, or jack) when 8 cards are drawn from a deck without replacement. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! there are 12 face cards altogether.
so it is choosing 8 from 12 or 12C8
divided by the number of ways to choose 8 from 52 or 52C8
that is 495/752538150=6.58 x 10^(-7)
12/52
11/51*
10/50*
9/49*
8/48*
7/47*
6/46*
5/45
same answer.
