Question #74ced

Answer 1

Let's look at the probabilities one by one.

Explanation:

Number smaller than 5:
This will be 2, 3 or 4. There are 12 of those in a deck:
`P(<5)=12/52=3/13`

A Jack:
There are 4 in a deck:
`P(J)=4/52=1/13`

Since this is an AND situation we MULTIPLY:
`P(<5andJ)=3/13xx1/13=3/169`

Note:
This if the order of drawing is important. If it doesn't matter, as long as we have a Jack from one deck and a lower-than-5 from the other, the probability doubles.
