There are 4 kings in a deck of 52 cards, so the probability of any one card being a king is 4/52 = 1/13.

The probability of getting at least one king is 1 - (12/13)5, in other words 1 minus the probability of not getting a king 5 times. This comes to 0.3298, or approximately 1 in 3.

If you want the probability of getting exactly 1 king, then the calculation is 5*(1/13)*(12/13)4 = 0.2792, or roughly 7/25.

What is the probability of getting exactly three aces in a five-card poker hand dealt from an ordinary 52 card deck?

The probability of getting 3 aces in the order AAABB is; P(AAABB) = (4/52)∙(3/51)∙(2/50)∙(48/49)∙(47/48) = 0.0001736... There are 5C3 = 5!/(3!∙(5-3)!) = 10 different ways in which the aces can come out. So the probability of getting exactly three aces in a five card poker hand dealt from a 52 card deck is, P(3A) ~ 10∙(0.0001736) ~ 0.001736 ~ 0.1736%

The odds against getting a royal flush in poker on first five cards dealt is 649740 to 1 Find the probability of this event?

I will assume you numbers are correct, and the odds of NOT getting a royal flush is 649740 to 1, then the odd of a royal flush is the reciprocal of that. When we speak of odds in probability it has a very specific meaning. If P is the probability of an even , then the odds in favor of P are P/(1-P). For example, the odds of getting a 6 when we throw a die is not 1/6, it is 1/6 divided by 1-(1/6) or 1/6 divided by 5/6 which is 1/5 or 1 in 5. The odds of not getting a 6 is 1/(1/5)=5 to 1 So your given odds are 649740/1 and the odd of getting the royal flush are 1/649740.
