Question

In how many different ways can 3 red cards be drawn from a standard deck of cards?

Answer 1

There are 26 red cards in a standard deck of 52 cards. If you do this problem without replacement, you'd choose one of the 26 cards. Then, there'd be 25 left, and you'd choose one of the 25 cards. And then 24. So the answer would be 26*25*24 = 15600.

Answer 2

To add on to the previous answer - if you do this with replacement, it would be 26*26*26 = 17576.
