if you are dealt six cards from a deck of 52, find the probability of getting 3 jacks and 3 aces
----------------------------
# of ways to get 3 jacks: 4C3 = 4
# of ways to get 3 aces: 4C3 = 4
----
# of ways to get 3 jacks and 3 aces = 4^2 = 16
---
# of ways to select 6 cards randomly: 52C6 = 20,358,520
=============
P(3j's and 3a's) = 16/20,358,520 = 0.0000007859
