What is the probability of drawing 5 face cards from a standard deck of cards?
The probability of drawing one face card is 12 in 52. The probability of drawing the second face card, then, is 11 in 51. And so on, 10 in 50, 9 in 49, and 8 in 48. Since this is sequential probability, simply multiply the odds, giving (12/52)(11/51)(10/50)(9/49)(8/48) or (95040/311875200). I'l leave it to the reader to do the simple reduction to lowest terms.

What is the probability of drawing an 8 followed by a 2 from 11 numbers?
If the number 8 is PUT BACK INTO the group after the first draw, the probability of drawing an 8 then a 2 from 11 numbers is: 0.8% or eight-tenths of a percent [reason #1]If the number 8 is REMOVED from the group after the first draw, the probability of drawing an 8 then a 2 from 11 numbers is: 0.9% or nine-tenths of a percent [reason #2]Reason # 1 :On the first draw, you have a 1 in 11 chance of drawing the 8 (9%) then on the second draw there is again a 1 in 11 chance of drawing the 2 (9%). So 9% x 9% = 0.8% or 8/10 % (or 0.008)Reason # 2 :On the first draw, you have a 1 in 11 chance of drawing the 8 (9%) then on the second draw you only have a 1 in 10 chance of drawing the 2 (10%). So 9% x 10% = 0.9% or 9/10 % (or 0.009) OR If the first ball is removed, the odds are 55 to 1.
What is the probability of not getting a 7 or 11 on either of two tosses of a pair of dice?
First we find the probability of getting a 7. Of the 36 outcomes possible 6 result in a sum of 7, in other words 1/6. The probability of getting an 11 is 2/36 or 1/18. The probability of getting one or the other is the sum of the two, 8/36 or 2/9. The proability of getting neither is equal to the probability of getting anything other than 7 or 8. We find this value by subtracting 2/9 from 1. So the probability of not getting 7 or 11 is 7/9.
