I have a deck of 52 cards, and I am dealt with a 5-card poker hand, How many contain all face cards?
I am assuming the formula would be 12C3 = 792. Is that right?
How many possible 5-card combinations contain all face cards?

it’s a 5 card hand, so the correct answer would be 12C5
as there are three different types of face cards and four different suits, you get 12 possible cards, then you need to figure out how many combinations of 5 cards from those possible 12, hence 12C5
