A 3-card hand is drawn from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the hand contains the given cards.
no clubs
-------------------------------
# of ways to pick 3 that are not clubs : 39C3
----------------
# of ways to pick 3 with no restriction: 52C3
--------------------------------------------------
Probability (no clubs) = 39C3/52C3 = 9139/22100 = 0.4135
