Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i originally thought combinatios was the correct way to go, but i now lean toward permutations.
the key is how many ways can you deal them out, rather than how many possible sets of 5 cards can you get,
you can get C(5,2) possible 5 card sets. this is true because set is unique regardless of the order the order in which the cards are arranged.
if you then want to deal these out, you can deal each of those 5 card sets out in 5! ways.
since C(52,5) * 5! is equal to P(52,5), then permutations would be a more suitable answer.
i will go with permutations.
this is in agreement with what the other tutor told you.
it makes more sense now that i had a chance to look at it again.
