\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Pick a denomination: 4 ways
\n" ); document.write( "Pick 2 cards of that denomination: 13C2 ways
\n" ); document.write( "Pick another denomination: 3 ways
\n" ); document.write( "Pick one card of that denomination: 13C1

\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to succeed in doing what was described:
\n" ); document.write( "4*78*3*13 = 12,168
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "# of ways to pick 3 cards randomly: 52C3
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Probability of performing the pattern described: 12,168/52C3 = 0.5506
