The Full House Casino is running a new promotion. Each person visiting the casino has the opportunity to play the Trip Aces game. In Trip Aces, a player is randomly dealt three cards, without replacement, from a deck of 8 cards. If a player receives 3 aces, they will receive a free trip to one of 10 vacation destinations. If the deck of 8 cards contains 3 aces, what is the probability that a player will win a trip?

A. 1/336
B. 1/120
C. 1/56
D. 1/720
E. 1/1440

It's simply 3C3 / 8C3, which is 1/56.

The probability is

3/8*2/7*1/6 = 1/56

OA:

Since each draw doesn't replace the cards:
Prob. of getting an ace in the first draw = 3/8
getting in the second, after first draw is ace = 2/7
getting in the third after the first two draws are aces = 1/6
thus total probability for these mutually independent events = 3/8*2/7*1/6 = 1/56
