Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Any of the 5 teams can finish first. For each of those, any of the 4 remaining teams can finish 2nd. For any of those 5·4 = 20 permutations, any of the 3 remaining teams can finish 3rd. The counting continues in like fashion, so the total number of possible finish sequences is ...

5·4·3·2·1 = 5! = 120 . . . . ways they can finish

A flush in the card game of poker occurs if a player gets five cards that are all the same suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts, or

Answer:

The probability is 0.000495

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question:

Total no. of cards in a deck = 52

No. of spades in a deck = 13

Now, we have to select 5 cards in a deck such that they belong to the same suit, i.e., spades.

The no. of ways of selecting 5 cards from a deck = $^{52}C_{5} = \frac{52!}{5!(52 - 5)!} = \frac{52!}{5!47!}$

The no. of ways of selecting 5 cards from 13 spade cards = $^{13}C_{5} = \frac{13!}{5!(13 - 5)!} = \frac{13!}{5!8!}$

Now,

Probability that the selected 5 cards are all spades, P(E) = $\frac{No.\ of\ ways\ of\ selecting\ 5\ cards\ from\ 13\ spade\ cards}{No.\ of\ ways\ of\ selecting\ 5\ cards\ from\ a\ deck}$

P(E) = $\frac{^{13}C_{5}}{^{52}C_{5}}$

P(E) = $\frac{\frac{13!}{5!8!}}{\frac{52!}{5!52!}}$

P(E) = $\frac{\frac{13\times 12\times 11\tiems 10\times 9}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}}{\frac{52\times 51\times 50\times 49\times 48}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}}$
