A hand of 13 cards is dealt at random from a bridge deck of 52 cards. Find the probability that the hand contains 4 Queens. (to four decimal places.)
---------
# of ways to select 4 queens: 1
# of ways to select the remaining 9 cards: 48C9
---
# of ways to pick 13 cards randomly: 52C13
----
P(4 Queens in hand of 13) = [1*48C9]/52C13 = 0.002641...
