How many ways can a hand of five cards consisting of four cards from one suit and one card from another suit be drawn from a standard deck of cards I think combination?
The probability of five cards being four cards from one suit and one card from another suit is the same as the probability of drawing four cards from one suit multiplied by the probability of drawing one card from another suit, multiplied by 5 (for each of the possible positions this other card can be drawn in). The probability of drawing four cards from one suit is 12/51 x 11/50 x 10/49. The probability of drawing a fifth card from another suit is 39/48. All these numbers multiplied together (and multiplied by 5) come to 0.0429. So the probability of drawing a hand of five cards with four cards from one suit and one card from another is 5.29%

Picking 4 cards out of a deck of 52 what is the probability of picking 3 from one suit and 1 from another suit?
To determine the probability of picking 3 cards of one suit and 1 card of another in a standard 52 card deck, consider each card one at a time. The probability of picking a card in any suit is 52 in 52, or 1. Since there are now only 12 cards in the first suit, the probability of picking a card in the same suit is 12 in 51, or 4 in 17, or 0.2353. Since there are now only 11 cards in the first suit, the probability of picking a card in the same suit is 11 in 50, or 0.22. Since there are still 39 cards in the remaining three suits, the probability of picking a card in a suit different than the first is 39 in 49, or 0.7959. The probability of picking 3 cards of one suit and 1 card of another in a standard 52 card deck is, therefore, the product of the probabilities of each card, or (52 in 52) (12 in 51) (11 in 50) (39 in 49), or 267696 in 6497400, or 0.0412, or about 1 in 25.

Yes. In Hearts you have to throw a card of the same suit as the first card thrown if you have one. The first card to play in the game is always the two of clubs.
