all 7's in a deck of cards without replacement and no shuffling
all 7's in a deck without replacement but with shuffling
all 7's in a deck with replacement and with shuffling

----
The shuffling has no effect as long as the selections are
made randomly.
----
Replacement does have an effect:
with replacement: (1/13)^4 = 1/28561
---
without replacement: 1/52C4 = 1/270725
