Conditional Hypergeometric probability? [closed]
$begingroup$
I have an unusual question which I’m trying to find the answer to to satisfy my own curiosity. I understand how hypergeometric probability works but I want to know how to calculate it given 2 events occurring, and hopefully my title is correct because I think it would be dependent.
Ex. You draw 5 cards from a standard deck of playing cards. What is the probability that 2 of them are hearts AND 1 of the 5 is a spade.
Would I calculate the hypergeometric probabilities individually and then multiply them together? What if I wanted to know the probability of three events such as 2 hearts, 1 spade, and 1 club. Thanks!

@JoséCarlosSantos It's not an isolated problem; it's actually pretty solid.
