Problem - 4103

Kathy has $5$ red cards and $5$ green cards. She shuffles the $10$ cards and lays out $5$ of the cards in a row in a random order. She will be happy if and only if all the red cards laid out are adjacent and all the green cards laid out are adjacent. For example, card orders $RRGGG$, $GGGGR$, or $RRRRR$ will make Kathy happy, but $RRRGR$ will not. Find the probability that Kathy will be happy.
