Full solution

Q. find the probability of getting a royal flush
  1. Count Total 55-Card Hands: Count the total number of possible 55-card hands from a standard 5252-card deck.\newlineCalculation: There are 5252 cards, and we need to choose 55, so we use the combination formula which is 52C552C5.\newline52C5=52!(5!(525)!)52C5 = \frac{52!}{(5! * (52 - 5)!)}\newline52C5=52!(5!47!)52C5 = \frac{52!}{(5! * 47!)}\newline52C5=2,598,96052C5 = 2,598,960
  2. Identify Royal Flush Ways: Identify the number of ways to get a royal flush.\newlineCalculation: A royal flush is a 1010, JJ, QQ, KK, AA all of the same suit. There are 44 suits, so there are 44 possible royal flushes.
  3. Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of getting a royal flush.\newlineCalculation: Probability = Number of royal flushesTotal number of 5-card hands\frac{\text{Number of royal flushes}}{\text{Total number of 5-card hands}}\newlineProbability = 42,598,960\frac{4}{2,598,960}\newlineProbability = 1649,740\frac{1}{649,740}
