A poker hand is a set of 5 cards randomly chosen from a deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of a (a) royal flush (ten, jack,

queen, king, ace in a single suit). (b) straight flush (five in a sequence in a single suit, but not a royal flush). (c) four of a kind (four cards of the same face value). (d) full house (one pair and one triple, each of the same face value). (e) flush (five cards in a single suit but not a straight or royal flush). (f) straight (five cards in a sequence, not all the same suit). (Note that in straights, an ace counts high or low.) g

Answer:

a) 0.000001539

b) 0.00001385

c) 0.0002401

d) 0.001441

e) 0.001966

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 52 deck of cards, and the hand of the poker is 5 set, then the total number of hands achievable would be

T = 52! / 5!(52 - 5)!

T = 52! / 5! 47 !

T = 2598560 possibilities.

a) There are 4 ways of getting a royal flush. So the probability of getting a royal flush is

4 / 2598560 =

0.000001539

b) There are 9 hands from the 5 card hands, and also, there are 4 possible suits. So then, the probability is

9 * 4 / 2598560 =

36 / 2598560 =

0.00001385

c) There are 13 possible ways to get a four of a kind, since there are 5 cards with the poker, the remaining would be taken from the 48 remaining cards, thus

13 * 48 / 2598560 =

624 / 2598560 =

0.0002401

d) 3 of a kind in conjunction with a pair is needed to form a full house. This 3 of a kind can be gotten from any 4 suits. Then again, the pair has two cards with the same face value. So,

4! / 2! (4 - 2)! =

4! / 2! 2! = 6

That means, there are 6 possible ways to get our needed suits. Then, the probability of getting a full house is

13 * 4 * 12 * 6 / 2598560 =

3744 / 2598560 =

0.001441

e) To get a flush, all the 5 cards in the hand needs to have the same suit. Now, there are 13 different types of cards with only 5 cards being in the hand, thus

13! / 5! (13 - 5)! =

13! / 5! 8! = 1287

Now, recall that the question specifically asked us not to include any straight. There are 10 straights that can be gotten, and thus, we subtract it.

1287 - 10 = 1277

Since there are 4 suits, the probability of getting a flush is

1277 * 4 / 2598560 =

5108 / 2598560 = 0.001966

Since they’re vertical we know that they’re congruent. We write the equation as 160=10x+50. Subtract 50 to both sides then we get 110=10x so now we divide 10 to both sides and get 11=x.
So your answer is A
Hope I helped :)

2(n - 1) + 4n = 2(3n - 1)
Sloan [31]
2(n - 1) + 4n = 2(3n - 1)
2n - 2 + 4n = 6n -2
6n - 2 = 6n - 2 (equal)
6n - 6n = 2 - 2
0 = 0

whatever value you put into the place of n, you'll get 0 = 0
