Archived thread - inclusion-exclusion example
Hi all,
This forum seems great. My question is very specific and concerning an archived thread with BruceZ in the drivers seat: http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/...art=1&vc=1 In Brucez's answer it follows: " C(8,2)* 78/C(52,2) * 73/C(50,2) = 9.8%. C(8,2) is the number of ways to pick the 2 players. There are 73 pairs remaining after the first player chooses a pair" - Now, why are there 73 pairs left after 1st player chooses a pair? I know we can't just pick from 12 ranks and pretend that the 2nd player can't pick a pair of the same rank as the first. But why 73...? I want of course to be able to make the next term myself. ty. |
