Question 320865: what is the probability of drawing 3 spades and 1 heart consecutively but in any order from a deck of cards?
13/52, 12/51, 11/50 for the three spades and 13/49 for the heart? that's assuming you get what you want on the first try. Do I have to do it for every possible order that exists?
Thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is the probability of drawing 3 spades and 1 heart consecutively but in any order from a deck of cards?

-----------------
I says "in any order", so your calculations are sufficient.
= 13*12*11*13/52*51*50*49
-----------
If it's the heart first, then it's
13/52, 13/51, 12/50, 11/49 which is the same.
