Answer:
(3)/(51)

Explanation:


\text{Probability of any event}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Given : The number of cards in a standard deck of cards = 52

The number of jack in a deck of cards = 4

The probability of drawing the first card as jack :-


(4)/(52)=(1)/(13)

If there is no replacement , the the total number of cards left = 51

The number of jack is left = 3

Then , the probability of choosing a jack for the second card drawn :-


(3)/(51)
