Answer:

the probability of getting 3 aces and 2 kings when you draw 5 cards from the deck is 24 / 2598960 = 9.234463016 * 10^-6.

Explanation:

the number of ways you can get 3 aces out of 4 aces is c(4,3) = 4.

the number of ways you can get 2 kings out of 4 kings is c(4,2) = 6.

the number of ways you can get 2 kings and 3 aces is 4 * 6 = 24.

the number of ways you can get 5 cards out of a deck of 52 cards is c(52,5) = 2598960.
