There are \binom{52}4 ways of drawing a 4-card hand, where

\dbinom nk = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

is the so-called binomial coefficient.

There are 13 different card values, of which we want the hand to represent 4 values, so there are \binom{13}4 ways of meeting this requirement.

For each card value, there are 4 choices of suit, of which we only pick 1, so there are \binom41 ways of picking a card of any given value. We draw 4 cards from the deck, so there are \binom41^4 possible hands in which each card has a different value.

Then there are \binom{13}4 \binom41^4 total hands in which all 4 cards have distinct values, and the probability of drawing such a hand is

\dfrac{\dbinom{13}4 \dbinom41^4}{\dbinom{52}4} = \boxed{\dfrac{2816}{4165}} \approx 0.6761

2. Find the next three terms of the sequence.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. -2,592, -15,552, -93,312

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the terms is the previous term multiplied by 6. You can find this by taking any term and dividing it by the one before it. The answer will always be 6.

-72/-12 = 6

-12/-2 = 6

So, in order to find the next 3, we take the last term and multiply it by 6.

-432 * 6 = -2,592

-2,592 * 6 = -15,552

-15,552 * 6 = -93,312
