ANSWER:

Solution :

Step 1 of 1:

Given a gambler has been dealt 5 cards.

Our goal is:

We need to find the probability that he ends up with a full house.

We know that a gambler has been dealt 5 cards.

If he is dealt two kings or an ace and a king.

There are 47 cards remaining in the deck, two of which are aces and three are kings

Then the probabilities of these events areand respectively.

Now we have to find the probability that he ends up with a full house.

So, the probability of full house is given by
