containing 2 aces?
We can choose the pair of aces any of 4C2 ways.
For each of these choices of a pair of aces we can choose the three
non-aces any of 48C3 ways.
So the numerator of the desired probability is (4C2)(48C3)
The denominator of the desired probability is 52C5
So the desired probability is
(4C2)(48C3)
-----------
52C5
[(4·3)/(2·1)]·[(48·47·46)/(3·2·1)]
----------------------------------
(52·51·50·49·48)/(5·4·3·2·1)
= .0399298181
