BIG
103823:1
(Although by then I'd suspect that all the cards are the same!)
1/141
If I remember my GCSE Maths correctly, it's 1/47 times 1/47 times 1/47 again, which equals 1/103823.
103823 to 1 against. Slim, basically.
1/47 x 1/47 x 1/47 = 1 in 103823 chance
Normally a deck of cards contains 52 cards. Your deck has got 47. ie 5 cards are missing. so yourchance for picking one of these 5 cards is zero. Rest is obvious
Depends whether you shuffle the deck in between tries.
pick first card -------Odds are 1:1 of getting (any card)
pick second card --Odds of getting same card as before are 1:47
Pick third card ------Odds of getting same card are 1: 47x47 = 1:2209
the odds of 1:103823 are only if you want to SPECIFY the first card
ie the chances of getting a 'jack of hearts', 3 times in a row
3 in 47.
It depends if you define which card you want before you start.
If you decide which card it is that you want, then the chances of getting that card 3 times in a row are 1 in 103823 (less than 0.001% chance)
If you draw the first card, and then this becomes the card you "want" to draw the second and third times, then the chances are 1 in 2209 (less than 0.5% chance)
Your are not a full deck,fifty two cards in a full deck,why would you be playing with 47 ? Baffled
huge, but if you manage it, will you pick my lotto numbers for me as it would be easier to hit the jackpot than what you would have achieved
