Question 1210213
<br>
The AI solution from the other "tutor" involves finding the number of ways of splitting the 8 cards into 4 piles of 2 card each.<br>
The way I read the problem, the 8 cards have already been split into 4 piles of 2 cards each; the question is the probability that each of those piles of 2 cards contains an ace.<br>
So the problem is only asking the probability that the 4 aces get in separate piles.<br>
The first ace can be in any of the 4 piles -- probability 4/4
The second ace can be in any of the 3 remaining piles -- probability 3/4
The third ace can be in any of the 2 remaining piles -- probability 2/4
The fourth ace can be in any of the 1 remaining piles -- probability 1/4<br>
The probability that the 4 aces are in different piles is<br>
{{{(4/4)(3/4)(2/4)(1/4)=24/256=3/32}}}<br>
It doesn't matter which king gets with which ace, so that is the final answer to the problem.<br>
ANSWER: 3/32<br>
