Six random cards are dealt from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. There are 26 red cards and 26 black cards in the deck. I need to know the possibility of each possible distribution of colors. So I need to know how often all six cards will be black; how often there will be five black cards and one red and so on. I also need the same information for if there are 8, 10, or 12 cards dealt out instead of 6. |

For six cards the probabilities are calculated as follows: 6 Blk/0 Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(22/48)*(21*47)*6!(6!*0!)=0.011309 5 Blk/1 Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(22/48)*(26*47)*6!(5!*1!)=0.084008 4 Blk/2 Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(26/48)*(25*47)*6!(4!*2!)=0.238659 3 Blk/3 Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(26/49)*(25/48)*(24*47)*6!(3!*3!)=0.332048 2 Blk/4 Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(26/50)*(25/49)*(24/48)*(23*47)*6!(2!*4!)=0.238659 1 Blk/5 Red = (26/52)*(26/51)*(25/50)*(24/49)*(23/48)*(22*47)*6!(1!*5!)=0.084008 0 Blk/6 Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(22/48)*(21*47)*6!(0!*6!)=0.011309 Total 1.000000 The same methodology can be used for 8, 10, or 12 cards. |

Correction. I left out a division symbol in the post above. 6 Blk/0Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(22/48)*(21*47)*6!/(6!*0!)=0.011309 5 Blk/1Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(22/48)*(26*47)*6!/(5!*1!)=0.084008 4 Blk/2Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(26/48)*(25*47)*6!/(4!*2!)=0.238659 3 Blk/3Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(26/49)*(25/48)*(24*47)*6!/(3!*3!)=0.332048 2 Blk/4Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(26/50)*(25/49)*(24/48)*(23*47)*6!/(2!*4!)=0.238659 1 Blk/5Red = (26/52)*(26/51)*(25/50)*(24/49)*(23/48)*(22*47)*6!/(1!*5!)=0.084008 0 Blk/6Red = (26/52)*(25/51)*(24/50)*(23/49)*(22/48)*(21*47)*6!/(0!*6!)=0.011309 Total 1.000000 The same methodology can be used for 8, 10, or 12 cards. |
