RE: [ap-stat] 7 cards - no pairs

13 C 7 * 4 C 1 * 4 C 1 * 4 C 1 * 4 C 1 * 4 C 1 * 4 C 1 * 4 C 1 minus the
straights and flushes
You have 13 types of cards, and need them all to be different, so 13 choose
7. Now each of those 7 cards you picked has 4 different types (Heart, Club,
Diamond, Spade), so it is (4 C 1) ^ 7. Now we have to subtract the amount
of straights and flushes there are (not as easy to explain!)
Here is a link, though, to the actually computed probabilities

Hope that helps.
