Question

How many ways can 5 different cards be dealt from a standard 52-card deck?

Answer 1

there are 2,598,960 ways to deal 5 different cards from a standard 52-card deck.

Explanation:

The number of ways 5 different cards can be dealt from a standard 52-card deck is given by the combination formula:

C(52,5) = 52! / (5! * 47!)

which simplifies to

C(52,5) = (52 * 51 * 50 * 49 * 48) / (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)

= 2,598,960
