3 fours and evidently 2 not fours
number of ways to get 3 out of the four 4's is 4 number of possibilities for 2 out of the 48 cards that are not four is \(\binom{48}{2}\)
and the total number of 5 card hands in a 52 card deck is \(\binom{52}{5}\) your answer is \[\frac{4\times \dbinom{48}{2}}{\dbinom{52}{5}}\]
Do i have to solve that to get my answer ?
i would use a calculator, or better yet use this https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%284*%2848+choose+2%29%2F%2852+choose+5%29
