Answer:

1/26=4/104

Explanation:

The probability of pulling a diamond if completely shuffled properly, is a 1/4. Because there are 4 suits. This is only if, there are no jokers.

And the probability of pulling a jack, is a 4/51. Because there are 4 jacks out of the 51 cards, but you already pulled out a diamond card, so you take 1 out.

Multiply them together, and you will get 4/104 = 1/26

There is a 1/26 chance of pulling out a diamond card, then a jack.
