There are 4 threes and 4 tens.
a) P=P%283%29%2BP%2810%29=%284%2F52%29%2B%284%2F52%29=8%2F52=2%2F13
There are 4 eights.
b) P=P%283%29%2BP%2810%29%2BP%288%29=%284%2F52%29%2B%284%2F52%29%2B%284%2F52%29=12%2F52=3%2F13
There are 4 fours, 13 diamonds, and one four of diamonds,
c) P=P%284%29%2BP%28D%29-P%284D%29=4%2F52%2B13%2F52-1%2F52=16%2F52=4%2F13
