Question 538798: Alright, I'm trying to help my friend understand probability, and she gave me this problem. I got completely lost, and any help would be most appreciated! Here's the Question:
You draw thee cards from a standard 52-card deck. Without replacing the cards, what is the probability that you draw an ace a king, and a queen IN ORDER?
Again, any help would be most appreciated. I tried finding the probability by finding first the probability of drawing an ace, a king, and a queen in any order. It's the last part that stumped me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You draw thee cards from a standard 52-card deck. Without replacing the cards, what is the probability that you draw an ace a king, and a queen IN ORDER?
----
# of ways to get ace,king,queen: 4*4*4 = 64
---
3 of ways to get 3 cards: 52*51*50 = 132600
---
P(ace,king,queen) = 64/132600 = 0.000483
================
