Question

You have two decks of cards and you select a card from each deck. What is the probability to selecting a jack both times?

Answer 1

The probability is 1/13 (1 to 13).

Explanation:

In a card deck, there are 52 cards with 4 Jacks. If you simplified this probability, the answer would be 1 to 13.

4/52 = 1/13

In two card decks, there are 104 cards with 8 jacks. If you simplified this probability, the answer would also be 1 to 13.

8/104 = 1/13
