To get the numerator of the probability, we calculate the number of all black
hands, which is:
26 Black cards, choose 5
26 Choose 5 = 26C5 =
The denominator will cancel entirely into the numerator, and
when you multiply what's left you get 65780 possible all-black hands.

To get the denominator of the probability, we calculate the number of all
possible hands, whether they are all black, all red or mixed.
52 cards, choose 5
52 Choose 5 = 52C5 =
The denominator will cancel entirely into the numerator, and
when you multiply what's left you get 2598960 possible hands.
---------------
So the probability is 65780 out of 2598960, which is the fraction
That can be reduced by dividing top and bottom by 260, getting
or as a decimal, approximately 0.025310124 or about 0.025,
That's close to 1 out of 40.
that means that you'll average getting an all-black hand about
1 time out of 40.
