Boring Gin Question
Stole this from a PDF I was pointed to. Figure with the lack of content and gin posts...I'd post something to kill about 1.5 minutes of everyone's boring work day.
A gin hand consists of 10 cards from a deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that a gin hand has (a) all 10 cards of the same suit. (b) exactly 4 cards in one suit and 3 in two other suits. (c) a 4, 3, 2, 1, distribution of suits. |

Re: Boring Gin Question
a) C(4,1) * C(13,10) / C(52,10) = 7.23134165 × 10-08
b) C(4,1) * C(13,4) * C(3,1) * C(13,3) * C(2,1) * C(13,3) / C(52,10) = 0.0887242232 c) C(4,1) * C(13,4) * C(3,1) * C(13,3) * C(2,1) * C(13,2) * C(1,1) * C(13,1) / C(52,10) = 0.3145677 edit: thx google calculator edit: I may have screwed something up, probably did. Someone find my dumb mistake. |

Re: Boring Gin Question
Found my mistake:
b) C(4,1) * C(13,4) * C(3,2) * C(13,3) * C(13,3) / C(52,10) c) C(4,1) * C(13,4) * C(3,1) * C(13,3) * C(2,1) * C(13,2) * C(1,1) * C(13,1) / C(52,10) |
