Solution

To solve this problem, we need to consider two cases: getting exactly 3 hearts and getting more than 3 hearts (4 or 5).

  1. Exactly 3 hearts: There are 13 hearts in a deck of 52 cards. The number of ways to choose 3 hearts from 13 is "13 choose 3", denoted as C(13,3). The remaining 2 cards must be from the 39 non-heart cards. The number of ways to choose 2 from 39 is C(39,2). So, the total number of ways to get exactly 3 hearts is C(13,3) * C(39,2).

  2. More than 3 hearts: This can be either 4 hearts or 5 hearts.

    a. 4 hearts: The number of ways to choose 4 hearts from 13 is C(13,4). The remaining card must be from the 39 non-heart cards, which is C(39,1). So, the total number of ways to get exactly 4 hearts is C(13,4) * C(39,1).

    b. 5 hearts: The number of ways to choose 5 hearts from 13 is C(13,5). So, the total number of ways to get exactly 5 hearts is C(13,5).

Adding all these possibilities together gives the total number of 5-card hands with at least 3 hearts.

So, the answer is C(13,3)*C(39,2) + C(13,4)*C(39,1) + C(13,5).

Now, let's calculate these values:

C(13,3) = 286, C(39,2) = 741, C(13,4) = 715, C(39,1) = 39, C(13,5) = 1287.

So, the total number of 5-card hands with at least 3 hearts is 286741 + 71539 + 1287 = 211,926.

So, the correct answer is (b) 211,926.
