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 $)=\frac{^{4} C _{3} \times^{48} C _{4}}{^{52} C _{7}}$ $=\frac{9}{1547}$
