Five cards are dealt off of a standard 52-card deck and lined up in a row. How many such lineups are there in which exactly one of the 5 cards is a queen

Respuesta :

There are 18,679,680 different hands of 5 cards where only one is a queen.

How many such lineups where one of the 5 cards is a queen?

There are 52 cards. We want to make hands of 5, where only one of the cards is a queen.

There are 4 queens, so the other 48 cards are not queens.

Let's say that the first card must be a queen (order does not matter), there are 4 options to choose from.

The second card must not be a queen, so here we have 48 options.

The third card, again, must be different than a queen, so here we have 47 options (because one was already chosen).

For the fourth and fifth cards, the reasoning is similar, the number of options are 46 and 45 respectively.

The total number of combinations is given by the product between the numbers of options, we get:

C = 4*48*47*46*45 = 18,679,680

There are 18,679,680 different hands of 5 cards where only one is a queen.
