Question

In the game of poker, five cards are dealt. Recall the regular deck of cards has 13 denominations and 4 suits. What is the probability of getting 5 consecutive cards (i.e., from 2,3,4,5,6, all the way to 10,J,Q,K,A), all of the

same suit? (Note: If you are not familiar with cards, this is equivalent with having natural numbers 1,2,...,13, each coming in 4 different colors/suits; what is the probability of choosing 5 consecutive natural numbers, all of the
same color? The desired consecutive cards/numbers can be drawn in any order, but once rearranged, should form aconsecutive array).
