how many 5-card hands can be formed w/ exactly 3 red cards?

There are quite a few of these questions that I need to solve but I'll just show 1-2

from a deck of 52 cards how many different 5 card hands can be formed in each case,

with exactly 3 red cards?

with at least three red cards?

there is another question where it says " 12 face cards are removed form a deck containing 52, from these face cards 4 are chosen, how many combination's are possible that contain at least 2 red cards"

what do you do 50-12 = 40
40C4 ?
If I get help with one I think I can get the rest, I dont know what to do with these because they say how many red cards you get rather than ask you for the number of possible combo's.

Thanks.

Re: combination of cards

with the second one I think Im close.

12 cards so 6 are red.
so 6!/(2!2!)+
6!/(1!3!)+
6!/(0!4!)
=330

I know 6!/2! =360 :/ hmmmmm.

Re: combination of cards

I think I got it

6c3 * 6c1 + 6c4 * 6c0 + 6c2 *6c2 = 360.

with exactly 3 red cards: \(\displaystyle \binom{13}{3}\binom{39}{2}\)

with at least three red cards: \(\displaystyle \sum\limits_{k = 3}^5 \binom{13}{k}\binom{39}{5-k}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{(a) There are 26 red cards and 26 black cards in the deck.}\)

\(\displaystyle \text{Therefore, there are: }\,2600\cdot325 \:=\:\boxed{845,\!000}\text{ ways to get exactly 3 red cards.}\)



\(\displaystyle \text{(b) We want: }\,\text{(5 reds) or (4 red, 1 black) or (3 red, 2 blacks)}\)

. . . . \(\displaystyle \text{There are: }\:{26\choose4}{26\choose1} = 388,\!700\text{ ways to get 4 red, 1 black.}\)

. . . . \(\displaystyle \text{There are: }\:{26\choose3}{26\choose2} = 845,\!000\text{ ways to get 3 red, 2 blacks.}\)
