You are dealt five cards from a standard and shuffled deck of playing cards. Note that a standard deck has 52 cards and four of those are kings. What is the probability that you'll have at most three kings in your hand?
I know that the answer is 5414454145 from the answer key, and I know that the sample space is 52C5. What I don't get is how to find the event.
Do I just add the combination for each number of kings together (5C2+5C3)?
Or do I need to multiply as well to account for the other cards in the 5-card hand?
