Question:
A straight in poker is 5 cards of any suit in sequence. A jack is considered an 11, a queen is considered a 12, a king is considered a 13, and an ace is considered as either a 1 or a 14. The following are examples of straights: ace, 2, 3, 4, 5; 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; 8, 9, 10, jack, queen; 10, jack, queen, king, ace. Remember the suit does not matter when forming a straight. Molly is playing poker and is dealt 5 cards from a standard 52-card deck.
a) What is the probability that Molly is dealt a straight consisting of an ace, a 2, a 3, a 4, and a 5?
b) What is the probability that Molly is dealt any straight? A straight may start with an ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. Therefore, multiply the answer from part (a) by 10.
