You can put this solution on YOUR website! Three cards are drawn from an ordinary deck of cards one by one without replacement.
Find the probability of the following:
a) P(Getting all Jacks) = 4C3/52C3
-------------------------------------------
b) P(Getting an Ace) = 1-P(no aces) = 1-[48C3/52C3]
-------------------------------------------
a) P(King and a Queen in order) = (4/52)(4/51)
-------------------------------------------
c) P(Getting an club-a spade and a heart in order) = (13/52)(13/39)(13/26)
-------------------------------------------
d) P(Getting three clubs) = 13C3/52C3
----------------------------------------------
