If 2 cards are drawn from a 52 card deck without replacement, what is the probability of drawing a jack and a 10?
----
# of ways to draw a jack: 4
# of ways to draw a 10: 4
----
# of ways to draw a jack and a 10: 4*4 = 16
----
# of unrestricted card pairs: 52C2 = (52*51)/(1*2) = 1326
----
Prob(jack and 10) = 16/1326 = 0.0121
