13:23:52 `q001. Note that there are 8 questions in this assignment. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a hand containing exactly two 5's?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 4c2*(48c3) = 103776 confidence assessment: 1

......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:24:10 In order to get a hand containing exactly two 5's we must select, without regard for order, two of the four 5's, then we must select the remaining 3 cards from the 48 cards that are not 5's. There are C(4,2) ways to select two 5's from the four 5's in the deck. There are C(48,3) ways to select the 3 remaining cards from the 48 cards which are not 5's. We must do both, so by the Fundamental Counting Principle there are C(4,2) * C(48, 3) ways to obtain exactly two 5's.

13:26:15 `q002. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a hand containing exactly two 5's and exactly two 9's?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> C(4,2)*C(4,2)*C(44,1) = 1584 confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:26:29 There are C( 4, 2) ways to select exactly two 5's and C(4, 2) ways to select exactly two 9's. There are 44 remaining cards which are neither 9 nor 5. The total number of possible ways is therefore C(4, 2) * C(4, 2) * 44.

13:27:23 `q003. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a 'full house' consisting of two 5's and three 9's?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> C(4,2)*C(4,3) = 24 confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:27:34 There are C(4, 2) ways to get two 5's and C(4, 3) ways to get three 9's. It follows that the number of ways to get the specified 'full house' with two 5's and three 9's is C(4,2) * C(4,3).

13:31:51 `q004. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a 'full house' consisting of two 5's and three identical face cards?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> C(4,2)*C(4,3)*3 = 72 confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:32:04 There are C(4,2) ways to get two 5's and C(4,3) ways to get three of any given face card. There are 3 possible face cards, so the number of ways to get a 'full house' consisting of two 5's and three identical face cards is 3 * C(4,2) * C(4,3).

13:32:44 `q005. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a 'full house' consisting of two of one denomination and three of another?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ? confidence assessment: 0
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:33:51 For any two denominations, e.g., a pair of 5's and three 9's, there are C(4,2) * C(4,3) different full houses. There are 13 possible choices for the pair, which leaves 12 possible choices for the three-of-a-kind, which to by the Fundamental Counting Principle makes 13 * 12 possible choices for the two denominations. Note that order does matter when choosing the denominations because one has to be the pair and the other the three-of-a-kind. Again by the Fundamental Counting Principle we conclude that there are 13 * 12 * C(4,2) * C(4,3) possible full houses.

13:36:19 `q006. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a 'flush' consisting of five cards all of the same suit?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> C(13,5)*4 = 5148 confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:36:28 There are 13 cards in any given suit, so there are C(13,5) hands consisting of all 5 cards in that suit. There are 4 suits, so there are 4 * C(13,5) possible flushes.

13:38:09 `q007. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a 'straight' consisting of exactly one each of the denominations 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 4^5 = 1024 confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:38:21 There are four 5's, four 6's, four 7's, four 8's and four 9's. So there are 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 4 = 4^5 possible straights from 5 to 9.

13:42:22 `q008. Using a standard deck of cards, in how many ways is it possible to get a 'straight' consisting of five cards of consecutive denominations, assuming that the 'ace' can be either 'high' or 'low'?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 10*(4^5) = 10240 confidence assessment: 1
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
13:42:42 There are 10 possible denominations for the 'low' card of a straight (any card from ace through 10 can serve as the 'low' card of a straight). There are 4^5 possible straights for each possible low card. It follows that there are 10 * 4^5 possible straights.
