Find the number of possible 5-card hands that contain the cards specified. The cards are taken from a standard 52-card deck. "At most, 1 queen"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at most one queen means "one queen or no queens"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no queens: there are 48 not queens, you pick five \[\binom{48}{5}\] for that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\binom{4}{1}\times \binom{48}{4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo gone

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

why pick 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because that is what you asked right?`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many five card hands....

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

lol right, my bad

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

for the 2nd one, not sure how you got those numbers though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one queen out of 4, 4 choices then the remaining 4 cards are not queens \(\binom{48}{4}\) possibilities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply those together then add to the other one
