You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are dealt five cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that
a. all five cards are aces
P(5 aces from deck) = 0
You cannot get 5 aces from a regular deck
-------------------------------
b. three cards are aces and two cards are picture cards
P(3 aces AND 2 pic) = [4C3*12C2)/52C5 = (4*66)/2598960 = 0.00010157..
--------------------------------
c. four cards are aces and one card is a picture card
P(4 aces AND 1 pic) = [1*12]/52C5 = 0.00000461723...
