Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of five-card hands is 2,598,960. The number of hands with no red cards (all black cards) is calculated by choosing 5 cards from the 26 black cards, which is 65,780. Subtracting this from the total gives the number of hands with at least one red card: 2,598,960 - 65,780 = 2,533,180.
