Question

What is the chance of getting 3 of the same cards in a row in a 52 cards deck?

Answer 1

1/425

Explanation:

The first card can be any card, so we don’t have to evaluate the probability.

Now we can suppose that the exit card is a two

- For the second card we have 3/51 of possibilities that is a 2 = 1/17

- For the third card we have 2/50 of possibilities that is a 2 = 1/25

1/17 * 1/25 = 1/425
