Find the probability of getting an exact category breakdown in an unordered selection

Problem

Count favorable hands by taking \(2\) of \(13\) hearts and \(3\) of \(13\) clubs, then divide by all \(5\text{-}\text{card}\) hands from \(52\).

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

An exact suit breakdown is built from simultaneous category requirements inside an unordered hand. We’ll count the required heart groups and club groups separately, multiply them to form favorable hands, divide by all five-card hands from the full deck, and verify that the category counts fill every card position.
