problem

Five cards labeled 1,3,5,7,91,3,5,7,9 are laid in a row in that order, forming the five-digit number 13579 when read from left to right. A swap consists of picking two distinct cards, and then swapping them. After three swaps, the cards form a new five-digit number nn when read from left to right. Compute the expected value of nn.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Five cards labeled 1,3,5,7,9 are laid in a row in that order, forming the five-digit number 13579 when read from left to right. A swap consists of picking two distinct cards, and then swapping them. After three swaps, the cards form a new five-digit number n when read from left to right. Compute the expected value of n.
