Comment: I think a full house is 3 of one type of card and 2 of another type.
Pick a type of card: 13 ways
Pick 3 of that type of card: 4C3=4 ways
Pick a different type of card: 12 ways
Pick 2 of that type: 4C2=6
# of "full-house hands" = 13*4*12*6=3744
# of 5 card hands: 52C5=2598960
Prob(full house)= 3744/2598960=0.00144057...
