Cards are drawn one-by-one at random from, a well shuffled full pack of 52 playing cards until 2 aces are obtained for the first time . If N is the number of cards required to be drawn. Then `P(N=n)` (where `2 le n le 50`) is given by.

A

`((n-1)(52-n)(51-n))/(50.49.17.13)`

B

`(.^(4)C_(1).^(48)C_(n-2))/(.^(52)C_(n-1)).(3)/(53-n)`.

C

`((48)!)/((n-2)(50-n)!)`

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding \( P(N = n) \) where \( N \) is the number of cards drawn until the first occurrence of 2 aces, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Problem We need to find the probability that the \( n \)-th card drawn is the second ace, and exactly one ace is drawn among the first \( n-1 \) cards. ### Step 2: Setting Up the Scenario 1. The total number of cards is 52. 2. There are 4 aces in the deck. 3. We need to draw \( n \) cards such that: - The \( n \)-th card is the second ace. - Among the first \( n-1 \) cards, there is exactly one ace. ### Step 3: Counting the Ways To find \( P(N = n) \): 1. Choose 1 ace from the 4 available aces. This can be done in \( \binom{4}{1} \) ways. 2. Choose \( n-2 \) non-ace cards from the remaining 48 cards (since we have already chosen 1 ace). This can be done in \( \binom{48}{n-2} \) ways. 3. The \( n-1 \) cards consist of 1 ace and \( n-2 \) non-aces, and the \( n \)-th card must be an ace. Thus, we can arrange these \( n-1 \) cards in \( \frac{(n-1)!}{(n-2)!} = n-1 \) ways. ### Step 4: Total Combinations The total number of ways to choose and arrange these cards is: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \binom{4}{1} \cdot \binom{48}{n-2} \cdot (n-1) \] ### Step 5: Total Possible Outcomes The total number of ways to choose any \( n-1 \) cards from 52 cards is: \[ \binom{52}{n-1} \] The \( n \)-th card can be any of the remaining cards, which is \( 52 - (n-1) = 53 - n \). ### Step 6: Final Probability Calculation Thus, the probability \( P(N = n) \) is given by: \[ P(N = n) = \frac{\binom{4}{1} \cdot \binom{48}{n-2} \cdot (n-1)}{\binom{52}{n-1} \cdot (53-n)} \] ### Step 7: Simplifying the Expression Substituting the values of combinations: \[ P(N = n) = \frac{4 \cdot \binom{48}{n-2} \cdot (n-1)}{\frac{52!}{(n-1)!(53-n)!} \cdot (53-n)} \] This simplifies to: \[ P(N = n) = \frac{4(n-1) \cdot \binom{48}{n-2}}{\binom{52}{n-1} \cdot (53-n)} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final expression for \( P(N = n) \) is: \[ P(N = n) = \frac{4(n-1) \cdot \binom{48}{n-2}}{\binom{52}{n-1} \cdot (53-n)} \]
