Five cards are drawn from a pack of 52 cards. What is the chance that these 5 will contain:

(i) just one ace


(ii) at least one ace?

given: pack of 52 playing cards

formula:


five cards are drawn at random, therefore


total possible outcomes are 52C5


therefore n(S)=2598960


(i) let E be the event that exactly only one ace is present


n(E)= 4C148C4=778320




(ii) let E be the event that at least one ace is present


E= {1 or 2 or 3 or 4 ace(s)}


n(E)= 4C148C4+4C248C3+4C348C2+4C448C1=886656
