The questionut: How many five-card combinations of a standard playing
card deck have cards from exactly two suits?
The answer: 379,236.
The sad thing is that after working on this problem for the last hour,
I've gotten answers ranging from 32,712 to 65,780 to 268,382.4 (no
kidding!) to 328,900 - everything, that is, but the actual answer
according to the textbook.
So for the love of God, can someone help me identify the correct
formula?????
Thanks and regards,
