XANTHYM, Thanks so much for your help. When I saw your answer I checked my original message, the 13 in my jumbled formula was an error. I know that the cards have to add up to 52.
Thanks again, spikemurphy
p.s. is there an easy way to use latex, do I need a special program.
summation
Yes, that is exactly what I meant. You are amazing. But is this the right answer for my question? Are both of these binomial formulas and is it ok to use a binomial formula with cards?
Thanks so much for your time>
