Test your understanding on probability !!

Dear students, Chinese new year is round the corner. I believe some of you may play card games with your friends or family members. If you have the intention to gamble with your Ang Pao money, why not try out some probability questions to test your chance of winning ?

Believe me, out of 10 gamblers 9 will lose. So just try out these 2 questions for fun and don't gamble away your Ang Pao money.

You may post your answers in this blog. I would appreciate if you could used your own name when you post your solution.

Q1). 2 cards are drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of getting Black Jack ?

Q2). In a game of poker, 5 cards are drawn from a pack of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of getting a royal flush ? (Note : Royal flush means the 5 cards are 10, J , Q, K and A of the same colour).
