How many 6 card hands are possible with 26- card deck?

To determine the number of possible 6-card hands from a 26-card deck, you can use the combination formula ( \binom{n}{r} ), where ( n ) is the total number of cards and ( r ) is the number of cards drawn. Here, ( n = 26 ) and ( r = 6 ). Thus, the number of 6-card hands is calculated as ( \binom{26}{6} = \frac{26!}{6!(26-6)!} = 26,234 ). Therefore, there are 26,234 possible 6-card hands.
