There are 13 hearts in the deck, there are 4 jacks in the deck, there is one Jack of hearts.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=%2813%2B4-1%29%2F52=16%2F52=4%2F13\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Probability shows you outcomes for the event divided by total outcomes.
\n" ); document.write( "For odds, you need outcomes against the event.
\n" ); document.write( "Just subtract \"outcomes for\" from total outcomes.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"O%5BA%5D=13-4=9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"O%5BF%5D=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So odds in favor would be 4:9.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
