two questions: what is the probability of getting a straight hand in poker (where A-2-3-4-5 and 10-J-Q-K-A are both valid? [52 card deck, no jokers] Out of 200 people, what is the probability of person A, B, and C winning first, second, and third prize respectively, if no one is allowed to win two or more prizes? I attempted these questions and my answers don't match the correct ones. Thank you so much!
