In a poker game, you get 5 cards from a regular deck of 52 cards.

What is the probability that you get full house (i.e. three of a kind and two of another kind) if the first two cards you've got were two aces?

OMG, the bot is right.
But of course it gave no explanation, and both Google and Wikekpedia
give that answer.

3 of a kind = 13*C(4,3) = 52
2 of another kind = 12 * C(4,2) = 72
number of possible "full houses" = 52*72 = 3744

number of combinations of 5 cards = C(52,5) = 2,598,960

prob(full house) = 3744/2,598,960 = appr .0014406
