Answer:

The 2598960 cards can be dealt from a standard deck of 52

cards if 5-card selected.

What is permutation and combination?

A permutation is the number of different ways a set can be organized; order matters in permutations, but not in combinations.

We have a standard deck of 52 cards.

5 cards selected.

Total combination:

= C(52, 5)

= 2598960

Thus, the 2598960 cards can be dealt from a standard deck of 52

cards if 5-card selected.
