Find the number of possible 5-card hands taken from a standard 52-card deck that contain 2 aces and 3 cards that are not aces
-----------------------------------------------------
# of ways to get 2 aces = 4C2 = 6
# of ways to get 3 other cards = 48C3
--------------------------------------
# of possible 5-card hands = 52C5
============================================
P(2 aces and 3 other cards) = (6*48C3)/52C5 = 0.0399
=======================================================
