Thread: combination

in the game of poker, what is probability that a five-card hand will contain(a) a straight(five cards in unbroken numerical sequence)
(b) four of a kind
(c) a full house(three cards of one value and two cards of another value)


thanks you so much. I could not figure out.

Hm...I shall attempt this question...not sure if my answer is right though! >.<

(a) Sorry I don't understand what exactly is a straight cos I don't play poker...is J,Q,K,A,2 still considered a straight? If not, then my working is definitely incorrect. And the suits don't matter right?



(b)
