Not so straight forward, actually.

5 random cards without busting?
5 cards exactly in a given player hand without busting while playing basic strategy?
5 cards exactly in the dealer's hand without busting?
5 or more cards in a given player hand while playing basic strategy?
5 or more cards in the dealer's hand without busting?

5 or more while playing BS

I aint got a clue how you would determine it.

Yes, but that link doesn't specify how often it happens. My guess is 1 out of 50 hands.

I might point out that this study was done for H17, which, clearly, increases the average number of cards taken by the dealer. So, expect the values to be slightly lower when S17.
