Default Tough question???

Okay I actually have two questions, one which is very easy.

The first question is: is the probability that someone will hit a pocket pair simply (4/52)*(2/2)=.0769? This should be basic intersection probability right?

The next question I am very interested in and I am not sure if it is even possible to calculate but here it is anyways.
suppose the flop has put a pair on the board: AA4, what is the probability that someone has one other A in their hand to make trips? is it:
((3/50)*(2/49)*(47/48))+((49/50)*(3/49)*(2/48)+((3/50)*(48/49)*(2/48))*(1/2)
which if I calculated correctly would be .003673

any help with this would be great
