Compute Probabilities Involving Permutations and Combinations
-If you are dealt 5 cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards, find the probability that all 5 cards are picture cards.
A) $\frac { 33 } { 108,290 }$
B) $\frac { 3 } { 13 }$
C) $\frac { 1 } { 2,598,960 }$
D) $\frac { 1 } { 216,580 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of ways to choose 5 cards from a 52-card deck is $\binom{52}{5}$. There are 12 picture cards in a deck (Jacks, Queens, Kings of each suit), so the number of ways to choose 5 picture cards is $\binom{12}{5}$. The probability is $\frac{\binom{12}{5}}{\binom{52}{5}} = \frac{792}{2,598,960} = \frac{33}{108,290}$.
