Cutting cards to deal, on the first cut both draw a king, then a 10, then a 3. What are the odds on this.?

Answer 1

on a 52 card deck it would be:

4/52 (7.7% chance) * 3/52 (5.9% chance) or a .4% chance of both getting a king.

Since I'm guessing you reshuffeled the deck each time the odds for the 10's and the 3's would be the same.

So the odds of picking the same card 3 times in a row is .4% * .4% *.4% or .000000009% chance of getting the same card 3 times in a row.

Answer 2

If you are asking what are the chances of two players cutting a king then a 10 then a three then the answer given by gungaroo is the correct one.

If you are asking what are the chances of two players cutting three times and tying each time then.

Chance of a tie is any card from player 1 followed by one of the three reamaining from player 2

3/51 or 1/17 probability of second player matching the first.

For this to happen three times the

probability is 1/17*1/17*1/17=0.000203541624


Which is more likely than cutting exactly a King follwed by 10 followed by a three.

Answer 4
