A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. These 52 cards are arranged in a circle, at random. Find the expected number of pairs of adjacent cards that are both Aces.
2. When the set of natural numbers is listed in ascending order, what is the smallest prime number that occurs after a sequence of five consecutive positive integers all of which are non prime?

24,25,26,27,28
Smallest prime = 29
I'll try my best on this one, I'm not particularly good with this topic.
So the first Ace can appear anywhere, so 52 choices, times 4 since it could be any of the 4 aces.
The ace adjacent to it has 2 choices, left or right, and has 3 choices on which type of ace.
The probability of this happening is \(\frac{52\cdot4\cdot2\cdot3}{52\cdot52\cdot2\cdot51}\) which will end up being \(\frac{1}{221}\)
so the expected number of times is 0.
