From Carol Ash's The Probability Tutoring Book,
Draw from a deck without replacement. Find the probability that
a) the $10^{th}$ draw is a king and the $11^{th}$ draw is a non-king
b) the first king occurs on the $10^{th}$ draw
c) it takes $10$ draws to get $3$ kings
My attempts:
a) $$P(10^{th}\text{ is king and }11^{th}\text { is non king}) = P(1^{st}\text{ is king and }2^{nd}\text { is non king}) \\ = \frac{4}{52} \frac{48}{51}$$
b) To get the probability that the first king is on the $10^{th}$ we want $9$ non-kings first. Here is where my confusion begins. I first try a combinations approach: Of $48$ non-kings, pick 9 of them and then of $4$ kings pick $1$ of them.
This results in: $$\frac{{48 \choose 9}{4 \choose 1}} {52 \choose 10}$$
Using a different approach: Draw 9 non-kings one at a time, and then draw a king $$\frac{(48)(47)(46)...(40)}{(52)(51)(51)...(44)} \frac{4}{43}$$
I feel as though these two should produce the same numerical answer, yet the first method produces an answer(0.424) that's a factor of 10 away from the latter method(.0424)
c)$$P(10 \text{ draws to get } 3 \text{ Kings}) = P(10^{th} = \text{King}|2 \text{Kings before})P(2 \text{ Kings before}) = \frac{2}{43} \frac{{4 \choose 2}{48 \choose 7}}{52 \choose 10}$$
