Question

We play a card game where we receive 13 cards at the beginning out of a deck of 52. We play 50 games in one evening. For each of the following random variables identify the name and the parameters of the distribution.

a. The number of aces I get in the first game.

b. The number of games in which I receive at least one ace during the evening.

c. The number of games in which all my cards are from the same suit.

Expert Solution
Step 1

a)

It's a problem of hypergeometric distribution where we are given with 13 cards from a deck of 52 cards.

The number of aces = 4

Here, the parameters of the hypergeometric distribution are:

n = 13,
N = 52,
k (aces) = 4
