Can you please help me

Hannah wants to know what the probability is that a card drawn randomly from a deck will be a jack. Her sample space includes all 52 cards in a standard deck. Which of these outcomes compose the event?

For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

The wanted outcome is that 1/13 or 4/52 jacks are in a deck of cards and that one of the jacks will be randomly pulled. So, there is a 1 in 13 chance that a jack will be randomly chosen.

4/52, 2/26 or 1/13 would be your answer
