Four players, creatively named A, B, C, and D, are playing spades. A standard, well-shuffleddeck of 52 cards is dealt to the players (so each player receives a 13-card hand).(a) How many possibilities are there for the hand that player A will get? (Withina hand, the order in which cards were received doesn’t matter.)(b) How many possibilities are there overall for what hands everyone will get,assuming that it matters which player gets which hand, but not the order of cardswithin a hand?(c) Why is the answer to Part (b) NOT the fourth power of the answer to Part(a)? Give an intuitive explanation in complete sentence(s).
