Hint- Here, we will be using the general formula for finding the probability of occurrence of an event. Given, one card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards Note- In these types of problems, we should know that in a deck of 52 cards there are 13 cards each of heart, diamond, spade and club. 13 cards of heart and 13 cards of diamond are red in colour whereas 13 cards of spade and 13 cards of club are black in colour. In these pairs of 13 cards there are 3 face cards consisting of a king, a queen and a jack. Question 209229: A single card is drawn from an ordinary 52-card deck. Find the probability of getting a heart and a jack. Answer by Theo(12415) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability that any specific card is any specific value is $\frac 1{52}$. It doesn't matter if it is the first card, the last card, or the 13th card. So the probability that the second card is the Jack of Hearts is $\frac 1{52}$. Picking the first card and not looking at, just going directly to the second card, putting the second card in an envelope and setting the rest of the cards on fire, won't make any difference; all that matters is the second card has a one in $52$ chance of being the Jack of Hearts. Any thing else just wouldn't make any sense. The thing is throwing in red herrings like "what about the first card?" doesn't change things and if you actually do try to take everything into account, the result, albeit complicated, will come out to be the same. What is the probability of getting a jack of hearts from 52 cards?Hence, P (the jack of hearts) = 152. One card is drawn from a well–shuffled deck of 52 cards.
How many Jack of Hearts cards in a deck of 52?Since we know that in a deck of 52 cards, there is only 1 jack of hearts card.
