A flush is when you have 5 cards of the same suit. (There are four suits -- clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades in a standard deck of 52 playing cards.) What is the probability of drawing 5 cards from a standard deck of cards and getting a flush? A) 1 256 B) 1 1024 C) 33 16,660 D) 33 66,640
Question
Answer:
1st card = 13/522nd card = 12/51
3rd card = 11/50
4th card = 10/49
5th card = 9/48
13/52 * 12/51 * 11/50 * 10/49 * 9/48 = 33/66640
there are 4 different suits so 4 * 33/66640 = 33/16660
