Find the probability of being dealt a full house. (Round your answer to six decimal places.)?

I'm assuming a 5-card hand being dealt from a standard 52-card deck, and that there are no wild cards.

A full house is made up of a 3-of-a-kind and a 2-pair, both of different values since a 5-of-a-kind is impossible without wild cards.

Suppose we fix both card values, say aces and 2s. We get a full house if we are dealt 2 aces and 3 2s, or 3 aces and 2 2s.

The number of ways of drawing 2 aces and 3 2s is

\dbinom42\dbinom43=24

and the number of ways of drawing 3 aces and 2 2s is the same,

\dbinom43\dbinom42=24

so that for any two card values involved, there are 2*24 = 48 ways of getting a full house.

Now, count how many ways there are of doing this for any two choices of card value. Of 13 possible values, we are picking 2, so the total number of ways of getting a full house for any 2 values is

2\dbinom{13}2\dbinom42\dbinom43=3744

The total number of hands that can be drawn is

\dbinom{52}5=2,598,960

Then the probability of getting a full house is

\dfrac{2\binom{13}2\binom42\binom43}{\binom{52}5}=\dfrac6{4165}\approx\boxed{0.001441}

A rectangle is constructed with its base on theâ x-axis and two of its vertices on the parabola yequals=2525minusâxsquared2. wha
Nina [5.8K]
You should have drawn1 - x-axis and y-axis in light pencil.2 - graphed a down-facing parabola with the top of the frown on the y-axis at y = 2.  It should be crossing the x-axis at ±√2.  This should be in dark pencil or another color.3 - In dark pencil or a completely new color, draw a rectangle with one of the horizontal sides sitting on top of the x-axis and the other horizontal side touching the parabola at each of the top corners of the rectangle. The rectangle will have half of its base in the positive x-axis and the other half on the negative x-axis.  It should be split right down the middle by the y-axis.  So each half of the base we will say is "x" units long.  So the whole base is 2x units long (the x units to the right of the y-axis, and the x units to the left of the y-axis)  I so wish I could draw you this picture...   In the vertical direction, both vertical edges are the same length and we will call that y.   The area that we want to maximize has a width 2x long, and a height of y tall. So A = 2xy     This is the equation we want to maximize (take derivative and set it = 0), we call it the "primary equation", but we need it in one variable. This is where the "secondary equation" comes in.  We need to find a way to change the area formula to all x's or all y's. Since it is constrained to having its height limited by the parabola, we could use the fact that y=2 - x2 to make the area formula in only x's.   Substitute in place of the "y", "2 - x2" into the area formula. A = 2xy = 2x(2 - x2)   then simplify A = 4x - 2x3     NOW you are ready to take the deriv and set it = 0 dA/dx = 4 - 6x2       0 = 4 - 6x2   6x2 = 4    x2 = 4/6 or 2/3 So x = ±√(2/3) Width remember was 2x.   So the width is 2[√(2/3)]Height is y which is 2 - x2 = 2 - 2/3  =4/3

What is the simplified form of 4x plus 2 over x plus 5 minus the fraction 3x plus 1 over x plus 5?
viva [34]
We have that

[(4x+2)/(x+5)]-[(3x+1)/(x+5)]
<span>They have common denominators, so just add the numerators like normal fractions:</span>
=[(4x+2)-(3x+1)]/(x+5)
=[(4x+2-3x-1)]/(x+5)
=[(x+1)]/(x+5)

the answer is
(x+1)/(x+5)
