Hi I'm having toruble with this problem.

5 cards are dealt from a well shuffled deck.

Find the probability that none of the cards is an ace and the probabilty that at least one card is an ace.

For the 1st part I know there is a 48/52 probabilty that the 1st card isnt an ace. So would I do this:

48/52 x 47/51 x 46/50 x 45/49 x 44/48 ?

Also for the seocnd question would I do

4/52 x 3/51 x 2/50 x 1/49 x 1/48?

The cards are not replaced by the way. Thanks for youur help.
