A variable question?
«

In an x,y 52*52 array
y52
...............................................
..............................................
..............................................
.............................................
............................................x52
Where all x (each row) contains 52 of the same variables. (each row all contain 52 playing cards spread out )
In a random shuffle of all rows.
Where you receive the most left aligned value
The probability of a repeat value from any row x is 1/52?
Now if we were to re-align to any y-axis, and we were to randomly pick any row, our chances of a repeat value are ?/52?
Y being a totally independent choice of x and having the possibility of more , equal to or less, than 1/52 of any card.
Shown in a minimal array
yy
12x
12x
x Δ y = Δ
P
where
P
is the probability of a repeat
In the above minimal example when we use the first column
All x = 1/2
x Δ y
y
1
1
=2/2 chance of a repeat
If we already received a 1.
Does anyone disagree?

Help me out guys please, I need some probability info.
All
{a}x = 1/52
Al
l
{a}y = ?/52
y52

................x52
In a 52*52 array where all x rows are randomly shuffled to make the columns y.
?
P
{a}/y = var (1/52)x
