What is the probability of winning your bet if you are dealt a jack and a queen?
Since there are no card values between jack and queen the probability
of winning your bet is zero.
------------------------------------
What is the probability of winning your bet if you are dealt a 5 and a queen?
There are six card values and four cards of each of those card values. That
makes 24 winning cards out of the 50 left in the deck. The probability of
your winning is 24/50.
