Probability of drawing exactly 4 diamonds on 10 tries card draw

1.1k Views Asked by At

what is the probability of drawing exactly 4 diamonds out of a full set of playing cards on 10 tries? no replacement.

i have done this:

$$P(X=0)=\binom{10}{4}\left(\frac14\right)^{10}\left(1-\frac14\right)^6 = 3.56 *10^{-5}$$

anyways, i feel my answer is wrong. ... Am i at least doing something right here?

"probability of drawing exactly 4 diamonds of a full set of playing cards on 10 tries", unless otherwise specified, always implies drawing without replacement,

$$\text{so using the hypergeometric distribution,}\;\;Pr = \frac{{13\choose 4}{39\choose 6}}{52\choose 10}$$
