Explanation:
Provided that this is from a standard 52 card deck, without jokers included, and without replacement, then this would be. Shown as follows:
There are 13 clubs in a standard 52 card deck, so the first fraction shown is the probability of the first card being a club. For the second card, if there is no replacement, there are 12 clubs remaining in a now 51 card deck, so our probability of the second card being a club is the second fraction. This pattern continues for the third, fourth, and fifth cards.
Note that if we are replacing the card, that is shuffling the card back into the deck, then the probability of any individual card being a club is simply
Explanation:
This is for dealing out 5 clubs without replacement from a standard 52 card deck. This would seem the most obvious situation. The probability of the first card being a club is:
Probability of second card being a club:
These have to be multiplied together.
