$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{it}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{13}=\mathrm{52}\:\mathrm{cards} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{52}×\mathrm{51}×\mathrm{50}×\mathrm{49}×\mathrm{48}×\mathrm{47}×\mathrm{46}×\mathrm{45}×\mathrm{44}×\mathrm{43}}\approx\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{74}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{17}} \\ $$ | ||
