1. There are 52 cards total. Only 1 Five of hearts. P=1%2F52
2. Only 1 king of spades. P=1%2F52
3. Four nines. P=4%2F52=1%2F13
4. How many black queens in the deck? Then divide by 52 to get the probability.
5. How many diamonds in the deck? Then divide by 52 to get the probability.
6. Find the probability of jack, 2, and ace. Then add them together.
7. How many red cards? Then divide by 52 to get the probability.
8. How many red clubs? Then divide by 52 to get the probability.
