I read online, that if you have a deck of 60 cards, and you must draw seven, the probability of getting a specific card is 7/60.
What I don't understand, is why isn't this probability equal to: (1/60)+(1/59)+(1/58)+(1/57)+(1/56)+(1/55)+(1/54)? Both answers round to 12%, but this one gives 12.295% while the article's gives 11.667%.
My method seems to make more sense, but I wanted to ask here to be sure.
