A five-card poker hand is dealt at random from a standard 52-card deck.
Note the total number of possible hands is C(52,5)=2,598,960.
Find the probabilities of the following scenarios:
(a) What is the probability that the hand contains exactly one ace? Answer= α/C(52,5), where α= 4C1 = 4
----------------------------------
(b) What is the probability that the hand is a flush? (That is all the cards are of the same suit: hearts, clubs, spades or diamonds.) Answer= β/C(52,5),
where β = 4*13C5
----------------------------------
(c) What is the probability that the hand is a straight flush? Answer= γ/C(52,5), where γ = (8 fluses*4 suits) = 32
