Q:

This exercise refers to a standard deck of playing cards. Assume that 5 cards are randomly chosen from the deck.How many hands contain 4 jacks?

Accepted Solution

A:
There are 52 cards in a deck. Because you already assume you have 4 jacks, there are no more jacks in the deck. Assuming suits count, this means you have 52-4 different possibilities for your last card, so 48 possibilities.
