Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 09:20:45 -0700
From: Robert Tonkel
Please help with novice probability problems: Please
offer an explanation of your counting process:
Draw 4 cards from a standard deck of cards find probabilities of:
- p( all 4 cards have the same units)
I used p=e/s (event/sample)
(13,4) (4,1)/ (52,4)
- p(all 4 cards are face cards (J,Q,K))
I did: p = (12,4) (3,1)/(52,4)
- p at lease 2 cards have the same value
I did: compliment problem p = 1- p(no two are alike)
p = 1 - (13,4) (48,0)/(52,4)
Please explain the counting process used.
Thanks for your assisistance and understanding.
