Five cards are drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that all the five cards are hearts.

given: pack of 52 playing cards

formula:


five cards are drawn from the given deck


we have to find the probability that all of them are hearts


total possible outcomes of one card from the pack is 52C1


therefore n(S)= 52C5=2598960


let E be the event that all cards belong to hearts


n(E)=13C5=1287


probability of occurrence of the event is
