My daughter is taking a college course in statistics. The problem is if you take a random deck of cards, draw 10 cards randomly, do it
40 times, how many times will you get a 5 card flush. She did it at random.org and got a flush 9 times. Called to ask me if that was the right answer. Told her I would call her back after I calculated it.
HELP< PLEASE >>>>>>>>>>

Just looked and none of the math whiz's are on-line. Talk about bad luck.

This is way over my head, but I'll ask a question that the math wizzes might either assume or overlook.
Are you looking for EXACTLY five cards of the same suit, or AT LEAST five of the same suit?

The probability of getting a 5-card flush (or more) in 10 cards is about 0.22663 (this includes straight flushes). After 40 trials, the expected number is 9.0652
