Reiny
the prob of a spade and a heart
= 2(13/52)(13/51) = 13/102
so the prob of NOT a spade and a heart
= 1 - 13/102
= 89/102
so the odds in favour of drawing a spade and a heart is 13:89
= 2(13/52)(13/51) = 13/102
so the prob of NOT a spade and a heart
= 1 - 13/102
= 89/102
so the odds in favour of drawing a spade and a heart is 13:89
