Question

"What is the probability of drawing a jack or queen from a standard deck of cards?"

Answer 1

Well, there are 52 cards in a deck, with 4 suits. there is a Jack and queen per suit, so that is a total of 8 jacks and queens in the deck. that probability looks like 8:52 as a ratio, or 2:13 simplified. so, you are likely to draw a Jack or queen 8 out of 52 times, or 2 out of 13 times
