I have an assignment where I have completed 5 out of 6 question relating to
probability and counting. I'm stuck on the following problem:

Five cards are selected at random without replacement from a 24 card deck
(ie. nines through aces). What is the probability of a void in at least one
suit.

Example:What is the probability of a full house:

Answer: [c(6,1)*c(4,3)*c(c,1)*c(4,2)]/c(24,5)

Any help or hint that you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Aaron Moynahan
