The question is:
Five cards are chosen randomly from a standard deck of 52 cards.
a. How many different groups of cards are possible?
b. What is the probability that all 5 cards are hearts? (Hint: Find the number of different 5-card groups that can be made from hearts.)
c. What is the probability that all 5 cards are of the same suit?
The answers I got are:
a. 2,598,960
b. 1,287 / 2,598,960
c. 5,148 / 2,598,960
I am not sure if I figured the problem correctly. Are these the correct answers? If not, HELP!!!!!!
