Answer #1

total cards drawn = 8

total number of cards = 52

same kind of cards in a deck = 4

total number of different cards = 13

total number of ways 8 cards can be drawn from 52 cards = 52C8

total number of ways 3 same cards ca be drawn from any 4 = 4C3

now, the hand needs 5 more cards, completely different from each other = 4C1*4C1*4C1*4C1*4C1

there are 6 different cards in hand which can be chosen 13C6 ways

number of ways (3 cards of one​ value, with the other cards of 5 different​ values can be chosen = 13C6*4C3*4C1*4C1*4C1*4C1*4C1

P[ hand will contain 3 cards of one​ value, with the other cards of 5 different​ values ] = 13C6*4C3*4C1*4C1*4C1*4C1*4C1 / 52C8 = 4^6*1716 / 33111678600‬ = 2.1227 * 10^-4 = 0.00021

We are creating a new card game with a new deck. Unlike the normal deck that has 13 ranks (Ace through King) and 4 Suits (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs), our deck will be made up of the following. Each card will have: i) One rank from 1 to 15. ii) One of 5 different suits. Hence, there are 75 cards in the deck with 15 ranks for each of the 5 different suits, and none of the cards will...
