Find the total number of possible 5 -card poker hands.b. A heart flush is a 5 -card hand consisting of all heart cards. Find the number of possible heart flushes.c. Find the probability of being dealt a heart flush.a. There are a total of □ poker hands.
Calculate Total Poker Hands: To find the total number of possible 5-card poker hands, we use the combination formula which is C(n,k)=k!(n−k)!n!, where n is the total number of cards and k is the number of cards in a hand. In this case, n=52 (total cards in a deck) and k=5 (cards in a poker hand).Calculation: C(52,5)=5!(52−5)!52!=5!47!52!
Total Poker Hands Calculation: Now we perform the actual calculation for C(52,5). Calculation: C(52,5)=5!47!52!=5×4×3×2×152×51×50×49×48=2,598,960
Calculate Heart Flushes: To find the number of possible heart flushes, we consider that a heart flush consists of all 5 cards being hearts. There are 13 hearts in a deck, so we use the combination formula again with n=13 (total hearts in a deck) and k=5 (cards in a heart flush).Calculation: C(13,5)=(5!(13−5)!)13!=(5!8!)13!
Heart Flushes Calculation: Now we perform the actual calculation for C(13,5).Calculation: C(13,5)=5!8!13!=5×4×3×2×113×12×11×10×9=1,287
Calculate Probability of Heart Flush: To find the probability of being dealt a heart flush, we divide the number of heart flushes by the total number of poker hands.Calculation: Probability = Total number of poker handsNumber of heart flushes=2,598,9601,287
Probability Calculation: Now we perform the actual calculation for the probability.Calculation: Probability = 2,598,9601,287≈0.000495
