Three cards are randomly chosen without replacement from an ordinary deck of $52$cards. The number of aces chosen is denoted by $X$.

Three cards are randomly chosen without replacement from an ordinary deck of $52$cards. The number of aces chosen is denoted by $X$.
Moreover, let's define $X_i$ as follows:
$X_i=\left\{\begin{array}{c}1\text{if the}{\mathrm{i}}^{th}\text{card drawn is an ace}\\ 0\text{Otherwise}\end{array}\right.$

From the definition:
$X=X_1+X_2+X_3$

$E\left[X\right]=E\left[X_1\right]+E\left[X_2\right]+E\left[X_3\right]$

There are four aces in a deck of cards. Hence:
$E\left[X_i\right]=\frac{1}{13}$

$=\frac{1}{13}+\frac{1}{13}+\frac{1}{13}$

$D^c$Now, let $D$be the event that the ace of spades is chosen. Then conditioning on the event $D$, the expectation value of $X$ is given by,
$E\left[X\right]=E[Xâˆ\pounds D]P\left(D\right)+E\left[Xâˆ\pounds D^C\right]P\left(D^c\right)$

$=E[Xâˆ\pounds D]\frac{3}{52}+E\left[Xâˆ\pounds D^c\right]\frac{49}{52}$

The event is that no ace of spades is chosen.

Hence:

$E\left[Xâˆ\pounds D^c\right]=E\left[\underset{i=1}{\overset{3}{∑}}{X}_iâˆ\pounds D^c\right]$

$=\underset{i=1}{\overset{3}{∑}}E\left[X_iâˆ\pounds D^c\right]$$=\underset{i=1}{\overset{3}{∑}}E\left[X_iâˆ\pounds D^C\right]$

$=\frac{3}{51}+\frac{3}{51}+\frac{3}{51}$

$=\frac{3}{51}+\frac{3}{51}+\frac{3}{51}$

$=\frac{9}{51}$

From the above calculations,
$E\left[X\right]=E[Xâˆ\pounds D]P\left(D\right)+E\left[Xâˆ\pounds D^c\right]P\left(D^c\right)$

$=E[Xâˆ\pounds D]\frac{3}{52}+E\left[Xâˆ\pounds D^c\right]\frac{49}{52}$

$=E[Xâˆ\pounds D]\frac{3}{52}+\frac{49}{52}\frac{9}{51}$

Using the above result for the expectation value of $X$, one has that:
$\frac{3}{13}=E[Xâˆ\pounds D]\frac{3}{52}+\frac{49}{52}\frac{9}{51}$

$E[Xâˆ\pounds D]=4-3\frac{49}{51}$

$=1.1176$

Therefore, the required value is $E[Xâˆ\pounds D]=1.1176$.

Now, let $F$be the event that at least one ace is chosen. Then, by conditioning on the event $F$

Now, let $F$be the event that at least one ace is chosen. Then, by conditioning on the event $F$, one has that:
$E\left[X\right]=E[Xâˆ\pounds F]P\left(F\right)+E\left[Xâˆ\pounds F^c\right]P\left(F^c\right)$

The event that no ace chosen is denoted by $F^c$,

which has $0$probability of occurring: hence, $E\left[X\right]=E[Xâˆ\pounds F]P\left(F\right)+E\left[Xâˆ\pounds F^c\right]P\left(F^c\right)$

$=E[Xâˆ\pounds F]P\left(F\right)$

The probability for event $F$is given by:

$P\left(F\right)=1-\frac{48}{52}\frac{47}{51}\frac{46}{50}$

$=\frac{52·51·50-48·47·46}{52·51·50}$

Now, putting it all together and solving for $E[Xâˆ\pounds F]$, one has that:
$E\left[X\right]=E[Xâˆ\pounds F]P\left(F\right)$

$⇒E[Xâˆ\pounds F]=\frac{E\left[X\right]}{P\left(F\right)}$

$=\frac{3/13}{\frac{52·51·50-48·47·46}{52·51·50}}$

$≃1.0616$

Therefore, the required value is $E[Xâˆ\pounds F]=1.0616$
