If you are dealt 5 cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards, find the probability that none of the 5 cards are picture cards.
--------
Jacks, Queens and Kings are picture cards.
There are 12 of them --> 40 other cards.
--------
The 1st pick is 40/52
Then 39/51
Then 38/50
Then 37/49
Then 36/48
It's the product of those 5 numbers.
