You are dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck. Find the probability that you are dealt all face cards?
Solution
Note that the probability of x successes out of n trials is
P(x) = C(N-K, n-x) C(K, x) / C(N, n)
where
N = population size = 52 CARDS
K = number of successes in the population = 12 face cards
n = sample size = 5
x = number of successes in the sample = 5
Thus,
P( 5 ) = 0.000304737 [ANSWER]
