You can put this solution on YOUR website! Five cards are drawn at random from an ordinary deck of 52 cards. In how many ways is it possible to draw two red cards and three black cards?
---------------
Draw 2 red from 26 red: 26C2 = 13*25 = 325
Draw 3 black from 26 black: 26C3 = 2600
--------------
# of ways to draw 2 red and 3 black = 325*2600 = 845,000
==================================
