two cards are drawn from an ordinary deck, what is the probability that neither were a jack

Question

Ordinary 52 card deck. Neither the first card, nor the second were a jack

Answer 1

There are 4 jacks in a standard pack of 52, so there are 48 cards that are not jacks. There is a 48/52 chance that the first card isn't a jack and a 47/51 chance that the second isn't a jack either. So the combined chance is 48/52*47/51 chance that neither is a jack. That's 0.8507 approx. or 85.07% probability that neither is a jack.
