a)initially concentrate on one suit, say clubs. there are 13 clubs in a deck. complete p(five clubs)= p(first card is clubs and second card is clubs and third card is clubs and fourth card is clubs and fifth card is clubs )
p(five clubs)=?

P(five clubs in poker hand) = (13/52)*(12/51)*(11/50)*(10/49)*(9/48)



...after cancelling common factors...

= (3*11) / (17*5*49*16)



= 0.0004952   (close to 1/2019)
