Hi, I need some help working with combinations. I'm more focused on how to approach the problem and whats steps I need to take than the answer itself.
Thanks!! :D

A euchre hand consists of 5 cards from a deck of 32 different cards. Half of the cards are red. How many euchre hands contain only red cards?

How many red cards are there in the deck (n)?

How many 5 card hand (assuming the cards are all distinct - like in regular playing cards) can you CHOOSE from those n cards?.........\(\displaystyle \left(^n_5) \right\)
