14.Probability
easy
The probability that the three cards drawn from a pack of $52$ cards are all red is
A
$\frac{1}{{17}}$
B
$\frac{3}{{19}}$
C
$\frac{2}{{19}}$
D
$\frac{2}{{17}}$
Solution
(d) $3$ cards are drawn out of $26$ red cards (favourable)
$ = \frac{{{}^{26}{C_3}}}{{{}^{52}{C_3}}} = \frac{{26\,\,!}}{{3\,\,!\,\,23\,\,!}} \times \frac{{3\,\,!\,\,49\,\,!}}{{52\,\,!}} = \frac{2}{{17}}.$
