Probability question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1454064679835:dw|

Parth (parthkohli):

1/52C4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IT IS A OR B OR D BUT NOT A C CAN YOU GUESS WHAT IS IT

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

the video guy said \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \dfrac{13^{4}}{52\times 51\times 50\times 49} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\) But i doubt him.

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, so does "one from each suit" mean that all four cards should have four different suits?

Parth (parthkohli):

I thought it meant that each card should be an ace.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes 4 cards missing should be of different suits

Parth (parthkohli):

13^4/(52C4)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

the cards missed were at random i suppose

Parth (parthkohli):

yes they are...

Parth (parthkohli):

but i think that's the answer

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yep thanks

OpenStudy (phi):

another way to think of the problem is 52 ways to choose the 1st card 39 ways to choose the 2nd card (i.e must be one of the remaining 3 suits) 26 ways to choose the 3rd 13 ways to choose the 4th all divided by 52*51*50*49 ways to choose 4 cards with no replacement this gives \[ \frac{52\cdot 39\cdot 26\cdot 13}{52\cdot 51\cdot 50\cdot 49}\\ = \frac{13^4 \cdot 4!}{\frac{52!}{48!} }\\ = \frac{13^4 }{\frac{52!}{48! \ 4!} }\\=\frac{13^4}{52C4} \]
