Question

You take the four Aces, four $2$'s, and four $3$'s from a standard deck of 52 cards, forming a set of $12$ cards. You then deal all $12$ cards at random to four players, so that each player gets three cards. What is the probability that each player gets an Ace, a $2$, and a $3$?

Answer 1

Probability each player gets an ace, a $2 and a $3 = 0.0374

Explanation:

The total number of ways to divide the card in triples among four players = 369600 ways

The total number of ways to share the cards such that no card is repeated in each triple = 13824 ways

Probability each player gets an ace, a $2 and a $3 = 13824/369600

Probability each player gets an ace a $2 and a $3 = 0.0374
