I know this has to be an easy on, but I simply cannot figure out how to calculate the probability of a dice roll or a card pick. I want to calculate the probability of rolling four sixes in a row, or picking three kings in a pack of playing cards. I know how to to the math by hand, but I want maple to calculate it for me. 
I've tried google my problem, but with no useful results (they were all a lot more advanced then what I could figure out). I'm guessing it's because it's pretty straight forward, but I'm a bit of a newb to maple :)

I hope someone could help me out with my problem, or point me in the right direction.


Thanks,
