a. There are four 5s that can be drawn, and \binom43=4 ways of drawing any three of them. There are \binom{52}3=22,100 ways of drawing any three cards from the deck. So the probability of drawing three 5s is

\dfrac{\binom43}{\binom{52}3}=\dfrac4{22,100}=\dfrac1{5525}\approx0.00018

In case you're asked about the probability of drawing a 3 or a 5 (and NOT three 5s), then there are 8 possible cards (four each of 3 and 5) that interest you, with a probability of \frac8{52}=\frac2{13}\approx0.15 of getting drawn.

b. Similar to the second case considered in part (a), there are now 12 cards of interest with a probability \frac{12}{52}=\frac3{13}\approx0.23 of being drawn.

c. There are four 6s in the deck, and thirteen diamonds, one of which is a 6. That makes 4 + 13 - 1 = 16 cards of interest (subtract 1 because the 6 of diamonds is being double counted by the 4 and 13), hence a probability of \frac{16}{52}=\frac4{13}\approx0.31.

Note: \binom nk is the binomial coefficient,

\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}={}_nC_k=C(n,k)=n\text{ choose }k

6. Order these fractions from least to<br> greatest:<br> 2/3<br> 7/12<br> 3/4
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

2/3 = 8/12

7/12 = 7/12

3/4 = 9/12

7/12 < 8/12 < 9/12

So, 7/12 < 2/3 < 3/4
