Consider a standard deck of 52 cards. A game called 7 card stud is played where each player is dealt 7 cards. How many possible:

  1. 7 card hands are there? --my answer:133,784,560
  2. hands from (1) contain a 4-of-a-kind?
  3. hands from (1) contain at least 5 cards of the same suit? ie- a flush, or straight flush. do not worry about other hands that can be made.
  4. hands from (1) contain exactly 2 3-of-a-kinds? -- my answer:109,824

I'm stuck on questions 2 and 3!

    If you explain why it is that you were able to do 4 but not 2, more useful answers might be given.2012-11-13
