In an ordinary deck of cards, there are 52 cards out of which 13 are spades. This means that the chances of drawing the first spade is 13 out of 52. The probability of the second spade is 12 out of 51 because one spade and, incidentally, one card are now missing. The third spade comes out as 11 out of 50 and the last one as 10 out of 49.
Total probability of events that don't affect each other is the product of the individual probabilities. Thus, the chances of drawing four spades is (13 / 52) * (12 / 51) * (11 / 50) * (10 / 49), which is about 0.00264 -- in other words, one to 379.
