Suppose you start a hand of Blackjack with a fresh deck of cards. Your first 2 cards total 16 without using an ace, and you are reasonably sure the dealer's two cards total 20, also, with no ace. What is the probability you will win this hand by hitting and obtaining one or more cards worth a total value of 5?

A. You have left off a lot of cases. You could just draw a $5$,say. Or two $A's$ and a $3$. Or three $A's$ and a $2$. B. Your computation of the probabilities is wrong.
