Data Management - Probability of Cards

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the probability of drawing two hearts from a modified deck of cards where spades have been removed, leaving 39 cards in total. The calculation involves determining the probability of drawing two hearts consecutively with replacement, represented as (13/39) * (13/39). Additionally, the discussion emphasizes the importance of considering the different permutations of the card draws, such as ABC, ACB, and BCA, to arrive at the final probability for the scenario where the first two cards are hearts and the third card can be any card.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic probability concepts
  • Familiarity with card deck compositions

Homework Statement
I have tried solving this question multiple times, and I was unable to do so.
Three cards are drawn from a deck of cards, with replacement. The 13 spades have been removed from the deck. Find the probability that:
A) at least two hearts are chosen.

B) the last two cards are diamonds or the first card is a king.

C) they are 3 aces, given they are not face cards
Relevant Equations
Fractions, P(A or B) , P(A and B) , P (A``````````````|B) Either of them could be required and maybe other stuff too
Here is my work so far:
52-13=39 There are 39 decks of cards left since the spades were removed.
a)
Then there 13 hearts therefore, (13/39 ) * (13/39 ) that would be two hearts but I am not sure what to do next. But I am sure that it would be 39 cards and 13 hearts on top (maybe) cus it is replacement.
I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. Please let help me with this urgent matter.

You have the probability that the first two cards, A&B, are a heart. In that situation, the third card, C, can be anything. So what is your calculated probability for that situation (A=heart, B=heart, C=anything)? Then you have to figure out how many different ways the three cards could have been ordered: ABC, ACB, BCA, BAB, etc. Since this is with replacement, the same probability is true for every way to order the cards. So what would your final answer for a) be?
