A standard deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards. Each card has a rank and a suit. There are 13
possible ranks (A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K), 4 possible suits (spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds),
and 13 cards in each suit (one of each rank).
A hand of 9 cards is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards (assume all outcomes are equally
likely).
For each of the following questions, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the
final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4, 2)/24) instead of 0.375.
A group of 15 students made up of 9 females and 6 males form a committee of 5.
