Find the odd for drawing a ace when a card is drawn at random from a normal deck of 52 playing cards?

There are 4 aces, so the odds of drawing an ace are 4/52, or 1/13.


What are the odds of hitting 2 straits in a row at 5 card stud?

The odds of hitting 2 straights in a row at 5 card stud is about 5%. Since the deck is reshuffled between deals, the two hands are sequentially unrelated, so the odds of two deals with two straights is simply th odds of one times the odds of another. In order to draw a straight, you need to draw an ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 10, jack, queen, king, ace, assuming that ace can be high or low. The odds of drawing one of these cards is 10 in 13, but you have 5 chances to do so, so the odds of drawing the first card is 50 in 13. The odds of drawing the second card is 39 in 51, but you have 4 chances to do so, so the odds of drawing the second card is 156 in 51. Similarly, the odds of drawing the third, fourth, and fifith card is 38 in 50, 37 in 49, and 36 in 48. Multiply these odds and you get 19,740,240 in 77,968,800. Reducing that to lowest terms, you get 246,753 in 1,112,110, which is the odds of drawing a straight. The numeric value of the odds is 0.22187823146990855221156180593646, or about 22% Square that and you get 60,887,043,009 in 1,236,788,652,100. That is aready in lowest terms, so that is the odds of drawing two sequential straights. The numeric value of the odds is 0.049229949600214317813758989938262, or about 5%.


What are the odds of drawing a fourth ace from a deck of cards if 3 have been dealt?

If three aces have already been dealt with, there is only one ace left and 49 cards left. P(4th ace)=1/49 The odds are 1 to 49. It is here assumed that four cards cards are delat one by one and the first three were aces.


In a standard deck of 52 playing cards what is the probability of not drawing an ace on one draw?

Probability of not drawing an ace equals one minus the probability of drawing an ace. The probability of drawing an ace is 4/52 or 1/13. So the probability of not drawing an ace on one draw is 1 - 1/13 or 12/13 or 0.9231 (92.31%).
