Problem – 15
What is the probability that a five-card poker hand contains the three of hearts, the two of clubs and the jack of diamonds?
Solution :
For first three cards (three of hearts, the two of clubs and the jack of diamonds ) we do have choice, so we have to choose remaining 2 cards from the remaining 49 cards. So ways to choose = C(49,2) =1176
And total number of ways to choose five cards = C(52,5) = 2598960
So probability =
