Since there are 4 sevens,
P(7) = 4/52 = 1/13
(i) P(7,7) = 1/13 * 3/51
(ii) P(~7,~7) = 12/13 * 47/51
(iii) P(7,~7) + P(~7,7) + P(7,7)
= 1/13 * 48/51 + 12/13 * 4/51 + 1/13 * 3/51
P(7) = 4/52 = 1/13
(i) P(7,7) = 1/13 * 3/51
(ii) P(~7,~7) = 12/13 * 47/51
(iii) P(7,~7) + P(~7,7) + P(7,7)
= 1/13 * 48/51 + 12/13 * 4/51 + 1/13 * 3/51
