Given a 50 card deck with cards numbered from 1 through 10 in each of 5 suits, how many 5 card hands are there that include exactly one pair of two cards that have the same numeric value?

Respuesta :

Answer with explanation:

Total number of cards in the deck =50

There are card numbered from 1 to 10 in 5 suits.

We have to calculate 5 card hands in the deck that include exactly one pair of two cards that have the same numeric value

     [tex]\rightarrow_{2}^{5}\textrm{C}=\frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}\\\\=\frac{5!}{(3!)2!}\\\\=\frac{3! \times 4 \times 5}{3! \times 2!}\\\\=\frac{20}{2}\\\\=10[/tex]

So, if you will find pairs in each card numbered from 1 to 10, there will be 10 distnct pairs if there are 5 suits of each card.
