    What is the probability of getting a ?FULL HOUSE?? in five cards drawn in a pork game from a standard pack of 52-cards? [A FULL HOUSE consists of 3 cards of the same kind (e.g. 3 Kings) and 2 cards of another kind (e.g. 2 aces)]

    A) \[\frac{6}{4165}\]

    B) \[\frac{4}{4165}\]

    C) \[\frac{3}{4165}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] There are 6 ways to select 2 cards of the same kind from the 4 cards in the deck and there are 13 different kinds of cards, so the total number of combinations possible of 2 cards is \[6\times 13=78.\]There are 4 ways to choose 3 cards of the same kind from 4 cards of the same kind, but because the 3-of a-king suit must be different from the 2-of -a-kind suit, the possible combinations of this is, \[4\times 12=48.\] So total number of ways is \[=48\times 78=3744\] Sample space is \[^{52}{{C}_{5}}=2,598,560\] Required probability \[=\frac{3744}{2598560}=\frac{6}{4165}\]
