3 answers
Is that the only answer choice or?
It was a question. The textbook stated: if you have a standard deck of 52 cards, in how many different ways can you deal out. and the textbook was asking to find 4 queens in the deck how many possibilities. so the four queens was a sub question to the main question.
There are 4! ways to deal out 4 queens.
Now, the chance of actually dealing 4 queens is
4/52 * 3/51 * 2/50 * 1/49 = 4!/(52! / 48!) = (4!48!)/52! = 1/270725
Now, the chance of actually dealing 4 queens is
4/52 * 3/51 * 2/50 * 1/49 = 4!/(52! / 48!) = (4!48!)/52! = 1/270725
