Card probability (15 cards, 9 unique suits, odds of specific possibilities acros three 5 card hands)
$begingroup$
Note: if you frequent reddits probability section you will have seen this posted in a slightly different posing allready, i'm cross posting to a few places because the question is driving me up the wall, it's holding a personal project up.
My probability mathematics has some serious holes, (primarily in terms of calculating odds of a matching event in a complex problem). So please explain your answer in simple terms. A random formulae is unlikely to help as i'll have trouble understanding it. Worked examples would be ideal.
The problem:
We have a randomly shuffled deck of cards composed of 15 cards total of 9 suits.
We'll designate the suits; A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, & C3.
The deck contains one card each from suits A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, & C2.
It also contain 3 cards each from suits A3, B3, & C3.
The cards are dealt to 3 hands of 5 cards, each hand being dealt in sequence.
What i want to know is the average chance of any of the 3 hands containing 1 of the following 2 outcomes:
3 or more cards from any combination of A1, A2, &/or A3 suits.
All 3 cards of A3 suit.
