Two pair or three of a kind? when drawing five cards randomly from a deck, which is more likely, two pairs or three of a kind? a pair is exactly two of the same denomination. three of a kind is exactly 3 of the same denomination. (don’t count three 8’s as a pair—that’s 3 of a kind. and don’t count 4 of the same kind as two pair—that’s 4 of a kind, a very special hand.) how could you simulate 5-card hands? be careful; once you’ve picked the 8 of spades, you can’t get it again in that hand. a) describe how you will simulate a component. b) describe how you will simulate a trial. c) describe the response variable
