A 5-card hand is dealt from a well-shuffled deck of playing cards.
What is the probability of getting a hand with three cards of the same rank?
What is the probability of getting a hand with two cards of the same rank?
Please write as legibly as possible
First, count the number of five-card hands that can be dealt from a standard deck of 52 cards.
Total number of distinct poker hands= 52C5 = 2,598,960
Let's understand the ranks in the deck of cards.
There are 13 ranks. In each rank there are 4 cards(one in each suit). There are 52 cards in the pack, and the ranking of the individual cards, from high to low, is ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. (13 ranks).
A)there are 13 different ranks with each having 4 cards.
So, number of ways to get 3 cards of same rank in a 5 card hand = number of ways to get 3 cards of same rank and other two cards 9f different ranks = 13×(12×11) = 1716
(since, first 3 cards of same rank can be any one of the 13 different rank cards and the remaining two can be any rank card except those belonging to the chosen rank for first 3 cards i.e. two out of remaining 12 rank cards
So, 4th card chosen in 12 ways and 5th card chosen in 11 ways)
So, probability of getting 3 cards of same rank = 1716/2598960 = 0.0006602641
B) number of ways to get 2 cards of same rank = Number of ways to get 2 cards of same rank and remaining 3 cards are of different rank =13 ×(12×11× 10 )= 17160
Where first 2 cards of same rank can be chosen in 13 ways (any one of the 13 different rank card)
, the 3rd card can be chosen in 12 ways as 12 different rank cards are present now.
,similarly, the 4th cards can be chosen in 11 ways and 5th card can be chosen in 10 ways
So, probability of getting 2 cards of same rank = 17160/2598960 = 0.006602641

11 (6 points). A 5-card hand is dealt from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that the hand contains at least one card from each of the four suits?
You are dealt two playing cards from a shuffled 52-card deck. Per usual, this deck contains 4 aces. What is the probability that both of your cards are aces?
A card player is dealt a 13 card hand from a well-shuffled, standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the hand is void in at least one suit (“void in a suit” means having no cards of that suit)?
you are dealt 2 cards successively (without replacement) from a shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the first card is a king and the second card is a queen.
Suppose you are dealt six cards from a well-shuffled standard playing deck (there are 13 kinds, and four of each kind, in the standard 52 card deck). (a) What is the probability of receiving 3 aces and 3 kings? (b) What is the probability of receiving 3 of one kind and 3 of another? (c) What is the probability of receiving 4 aces and 2 kings?(d) What is the probability of receiving 4 of one kind and 2 of another?
A hand of 5 cards is dealt from a deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that the hand contains: a) two spades and two hearts b) two aces and a spade c) at least two spades
If fourteen cards are dealt from the top of a well shuffled deck of cards one after another without replacement, what is the chance that the top card is a heart?
5. Suppose a deck of 52 cards is shuffled and the top two cards are dealt. a) How many ordered pairs of cards could possibly result as outcomes? Assuming each of these pairs has the same chance, calculate: b) the chance that the first card is an ace; c) the chance that the second card is an ace (explain your answer by a symmetry argument as well as by counting); d) the chance that both cards are aces; e) the...
