Answer

a. 0.145 b. 0.118 c. 0.414 d. 0.217

Work Step by Step

a. P(first heart is third) = $\frac{39}{52} * \frac{38}{51} * \frac{13}{50}$ = 0.145 b. P(all red) = $\frac{26}{52} * \frac{25}{51} * \frac{24}{50}$ = 0.118 c. P(no spades) = $\frac{39}{52} * \frac{38}{51} * \frac{37}{50}$ = 0.414 d. P(at least one ace) = 1 - P(no aces) = 1- ($\frac{48}{52} * \frac{47}{51} * \frac{46}{50}$) = 0.217
