3 cards are drawn successively ,without replacement,from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards.find the probability distribution of number of spades?

Let X denote the no. of spade cards in three draws.therefore X can take values 0,1,2,3.PX=0 =C339C352 = 913922100PX=1=C239 ×C113C352 = 741×1322100 = 963322100           PX=2 = C139 ×C213C352 = 39×7822100 = 304222100PX=3 = C039 ×C313C352 = 1×28622100 = 28622100     

The required Probability distribution is,
X 0 1 2 3
P(X) 9139/22100 9633/22100 3042/22100 286/22100
