Answer #1

since there are 13 cards of reach suit, therefore, probability of getting a single suit is 13/52 = 0.25

from here we can understand, that in order to get 1 card of single suit, we need to draw 4 cards, therefore in order to get at least
12 cards of same suit (Diamond or Hearts), we need to draw 12*4 = 48 cards
