Four cards are chosen from a standard deck of 52 playing cards with replacement. What is the

probability of choosing 4 hearts in a row?

Assuming it does happen then

On the first draw the chances 1 in 4

on the second it is 12 out of 51

on the third it is 11 out of 50

on the last it is 10 out of 49.

Each draw, on its own is OK odds but 4 in a row calculates to roughly three fifths of five eights of not very much

Hope this helps!
