The possibility of a hand of bridge is C(52,13).
Among a deck of 52 cards, there are 32 =(8*4) cards between 2 & 9.
So, there are C(32,13) possibilities of a yarborough hand.
Hence, the probability for a yarborough hand is
C(32,13)/C(52,13) [ you can leave the answer like that]
= 0.000547033 [by using the function combin(n, r) in MS Excel ]
