Question

find the indicated probability. round your answer to 6 decimal places when necessary. you are dealt one card from a 52-card deck. find the probability that you are not dealt a 5.

Answer 1

Of the 52 cards, 4 are fives.

So the probability that a 5-card hand has no fives is:

(48/52)(47/51)(46/50)(45/49)(44/48) =

.658842 = 65.8842%
