Dealt a full house
You are dealt 5 cards from a well-shuffled standard 52-card deck. What is the probability that your hand is a full house: three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank?
Answer with a probability. First lock in a gut guess with an 80% range, then solve it properly, then watch a simulation settle on the truth.
