I just can't seem to get this problem, and time is running out.
The problems on this page all deal with hands taken from a deck of 32 cards:
the 7, 8, ... , Q, K, A of each of the four suits.
How many five-card hands are possible which satisfy:
the hand has exactly two hearts
the hand has exactly two spades
the hand has exactly two Kings
For this problem I set up the three cases like this: (O = non-heart, non-spade suits)
1KH - 7H - 1KS - 7S - 14O
1KH - 7H - 7S - 6S - 1KO
7H - 6H - 1KS - 7S - 1KO
Then I multiplied and added them together and got the correct answer of 1274. However, I can't seem to figure out the second and third problems.
How many 6-card hands are possible which satisfy:
the hand has exactly two hearts
the hand has exactly three spades
the hand has exactly 2 Kings
I tried setting up the cases the same as in problem #1, with the necessary modifications:
1KH - 7H - 1KS - 7S - 6S - 14O
1KH - 7H - 7S - 6S - 5S - 1KO
7H - 6H - 1KS - 7S - 6S - 1KO
But My answer of 7350 is wrong and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Similarly, I can't figure out the 3rd problem:
How many 6-card hands are possible which satisfy:
the hand has exactly two hearts
the hand has exactly three spades
I would think it would simply be:
8H - 7H - 8S - 7S - 6S - 16O multiplied together, but it isn't.
Any Help would be great.
