Answer: d) 6,534,385
Therefore, the number of ways of selecting 9 hearts is 6,534,385
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Number of cards to be chosen = 12
Number of hearts to be chosen = 9
Number of non-hearts to be selected = 3
Total number of cards = 52
Number of hearts total = 13
Number of non-hearts total= 39
The number of ways of selecting hearts can be given by the illustration below.
Number of ways of selecting hearts × number of ways of selecting non-hearts
N = 13C9 × 39C3 (it's combination since order is not important)
N = 13!/(9! ×4!) × 39!/(36! × 3!)
N = 6,534,385
Therefore, the number of ways of selecting 9 hearts is 6,534,385
