A poker player holds a flush when all five cards in the hand belong to the same suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts, or spades). We will find the probability of a flush when five cards are drawn in succession from the top of the deck. Remember that a deck contains 52 cards, 13 of each suit, and that when the deck is well shuffled, each card drawn is equally likely to be any of those that remain in the deck.
The probability of drawing five spades in succession from the top of the deck is the product of the five probabilities you have found. Why?
