14.Probability
medium
Find the probability that when a hand of $7$ cards is drawn from a well shuffled deck of $52$ cards, it contains $3$ Kings.
A
$\frac{9}{1547}$
B
$\frac{9}{1547}$
C
$\frac{9}{1547}$
D
$\frac{9}{1547}$
Solution
Total number of possible hands $=^{52} C _{7}$
Number of hands with $3$ Kings and $4$ non-King cards $=^{4} C _{3} \times^{48} C _{4}$
Therefore $P (3$ Kings $)=\frac{^{4} C _{3} \times^{48} C _{4}}{^{52} C _{7}}$ $=\frac{9}{1547}$
