What is the probability that a 5 card poker hand contains the two of diamonds and the three of spades (52 card in a deck)?

since 2 of diamonds & 3 of spades are compulsory,
we only have a choice of 3 cards from the remaining 50

reqd. probability = 50c3 / 52c5
= 5/663 or 0.7541%
————- ————–

edit:
——
i’ve rechecked the ans & find nothing wrong
unless the asker actually intended to ask
2 diamonds & 3 spades in which case the ans is
13c2*13c3 / 52c5 ≈ 1 in 116.5 or 0.8583%
