a game of poker uses a deck of 52 cards with 4 suits (hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs). each suit has 13 cards, consisting of an ace, cards numbered from 2 to 10, a jack, a queen and a king. if a person is dealt 5 cards find the probability of getting
a) four aces
b) a flush (all cards the same suit)

 

[jemsta]

binomial probability
a) let a=1/13
5C1(1/13)^4(12/13)^1

 

[jemsta]

b) flush happening 1/4
let a=1/4
all same suit
5C0(1/4)^5
i think thats correct...if not then let me know and ill edit it
