Question

Use the method of your choice to determine the following probability.Drawing three tens in a row from a standard deck of cards when the drawn card is not returned to the deck each time

Answer 1

Data

• Drawing three tens in a row

,

• 52-standard deck of cards: four cards of tens.

,

• Drawn card is not returned

Procedure

We have the probability of drawing a card of tens from the whole deck.

`(4)/(52)`

Then, as the card drawn is not returned, we have the probability of drawing another but from a 51 deck:

`(4)/(52)*(3)/(51)`

Again, as the two cards are drawn are not returned, then we have the probability of drawing one from a 50 deck:

`(4)/(52)*(3)/(51)*(2)/(50)=(1)/(5525)`

Answer:

`(1)/(5,525)`
