Each event is independent.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the probability of each and multiply them together.
\n" ); document.write( "At first,
\n" ); document.write( "P(face)=12/52
\n" ); document.write( "Second card,
\n" ); document.write( "P(face)=11/51
\n" ); document.write( "Third card,
\n" ); document.write( "P(face)=10/50
\n" ); document.write( "Fourth card,
\n" ); document.write( "P(face)=9/49

\n" ); document.write( "P(face)=8/48
\n" ); document.write( "P(5 faces)= $\"%2812%2F52%29%2811%2F51%29%2810%2F50%29%289%2F49%29%288%2F48%29\"$
