If 9 cards are drawn at once from a deck, what is the probability that exactly 4 of the cards will be clubs?
The total number of possible sets that can be made from choosing 9 cards from 52 =
C(52,9) = 3,679,075,400
But....the ones we are interested in have us choosing any 4 clubs from 13, and from the other 39 cards, selecting any 5 of them.
So we have
C(13.4) * C(39,5) = 411,666,255
So
411,666,255 / 3,679,075,400 = about 11.2%
