The text tells us 215 is 86% of the questions
We are looking for 100% of the questions
We get that number by:
Multiplying 100 and 215 and dividing it by 86
And that equals 250

Answer:
The probability is 0.0052
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call A the event that the four cards are aces, B the event that at least three are aces. So, the probability P(A/B) that all four are aces given that at least three are aces is calculated as:
P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)
The probability P(B) that at least three are aces is the sum of the following probabilities:
- The four card are aces: This is one hand from the 270,725 differents sets of four cards, so the probability is 1/270,725
- There are exactly 3 aces: we need to calculated how many hands have exactly 3 aces, so we are going to calculate de number of combinations or ways in which we can select k elements from a group of n elements. This can be calculated as:
So, the number of ways to select exactly 3 aces is:
Because we are going to select 3 aces from the 4 in the poker deck and we are going to select 1 card from the 48 that aren't aces. So the probability in this case is 192/270,725
Then, the probability P(B) that at least three are aces is:
On the other hand the probability P(A∩B) that the four cards are aces and at least three are aces is equal to the probability that the four card are aces, so:
P(A∩B) = 1/270,725
Finally, the probability P(A/B) that all four are aces given that at least three are aces is:
