A gambling King Pin (who is really good in math), placed a very tricky game. Given one deck of cards, a gambler (who is not good in math) is allowed to select one card from each suit (diamond, spade, heart, clubs) and stake the same amount on each chosen card. Now, shuffling each suit separately, the gambler will select a card from each suit. If the selected card appears once, twice, thrice or four times, then the gambler will get money one, two, three or four times of the stake respectively, and the original stake also returned to him. However, if the selected card does not appear, he will lose his stake. Construct a probability mass function of all possible outcomes and find the expected amount that the gambler will get.
