What is probability the a five card poker hand contains the ace of hearts, the king of diamond, and the quen os spades?

Respuesta :

The probability the a five card poker hand contains the ace of hearts, the king of diamond, and the queen of spades is: 9.62%

What are permutations and combinations?

Combination and permutation are two alternative strategies in mathematics to divide up a collection of components into subsets.

  • The subset's components can be listed in any order when combined (Combinations).
  • The components of the subset are listed in a permutation in a certain order.

Now,

  • The number of cards in a deck = 52

A five-card poker hand selects 5 out of 52 cards. Therefore, by Permutations and Combinations:

C(52,5) = [tex]\frac{52!}{5! (52-5)!}[/tex] = 2598960

Now, we select the ace of hearts, for which we can withdraw any 4 out of 51 remaining cards. Therefore, by Permutations and Combinations:

C ( 51, 4) = [tex]\frac{51!}{4! (51-4)!}[/tex] = 249900

Finally, 249900 out of 2598960 hands contain a two of diamonds and a three of spades.

Thus, the probability = [tex]\frac{249900}{2598960} = \frac{5}{52}[/tex] (Approximately) ≈ 0.0962 = 9.62%
