Answer:
The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324
Step-by-step explanation:
As given,
A deck of 52 cards contains 12 picture cards
Remaining card = 52 - 12 = 40
So,
Total number of ways in which 12 picture card is distributed = [tex]\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}[/tex]
Now,
The Total number of ways in which Remaining cards are distributed = [tex]\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}[/tex]
So,
Total number of ways of getting 3 picture card and remaining card = [tex]\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}[/tex]× [tex]\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]
Now,
Total number of ways to distribute 52 cards so that each people get 13 card = [tex]\frac{52!}{13! 13! 13! 13!} = \frac{52!}{ (13!)^{4} }[/tex]
∴ The probability = [tex]\frac{\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }}{\frac{52!}{(13!)^{4} }}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13!)^{4} }{ 52! }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13.12.11.10!)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41.40! }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12!}{(3!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13.12.11)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{479,001,600}{(6)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(1716)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}[/tex]
= 0.0324
∴ we get
The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324
