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!

4/52 *8/51*8/50*8/49*8/48 for the first one? (not considering how many people are playing)

1/200 * 1/199 * 1/198 for the second one.

i guess :s
