A semi-truck for a recreational cycling group carries 11 mountain bikes and 13 ten-speed bikes. A group of member cyclists go on a weekend recreational cycling trip, and each receives a random pick of the bicycles from the truck. What is the probability that 5 mountain bikes and 4 ten-speed bikes were distributed to the cyclists?
