If two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary

If two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary deck, find the probability of a jack of spades and a 5 of any suit being drawn.

The probability of a jack of spades and a 5 of any suit being drawn is ____.

Solution

There are 52C2 ways to draw any 2 cards.

There is just 1 J of spades, and four 5\'s. Thus, there are 1*4 = 4 ways to do this.

Thus,

P(J of spades and a 5) = 4 / (52C2) = 0.003016591 [ANSWER]
