3. What is the probability that a 3-card hand has 2 face cards (J,Q,K & A) and a 7? Express your solution as a decimal accurate to two places.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

2) The probability that the straight flush including royal flush is 0.000015.

Each straight flush is uniquely determined by its highest-ranking card. These ranks go from 5 (A-2-3-4-5) up to A (10-J-Q-K-A) in each of the 4 suits.

The number of such hands = 36 + 4 = 40

Total number of combinations of different hands = 52C5 = 2,598,960

Probability of straight flush including royal flush is = 40/2598960 = 0.0000154
