So, to start with, the probability of drawing a J is 3/12 since there is January, July, and June. So there's a 25% chance of getting J first.

There are 2 months starting with M, March and May, so by itself there is a 2/12 chance of that happening, or a roughly 17% chance.

However, since we only care about drawing an M after drawing a J, we have a 3/12 chance of the first draw, and the other 9/12 possibilities we don't care about because they've already failed. So out of the 3/12 times where we draw a J, we then have a 2/12 chance of drawing an M.

So 3/12 * 2/12 = 6/144, about a 4% chance of drawing these letters in this order.

Specifically, 0.04166666

How do you calculate propability of a deck of cards?

The probability is the likely outcome of a random event. In this example - picking (say) the Ace of Spades - the chances are 1 in 52. Drawing a red card is 1 in 2, drawing a Spade is 1 in 13 etc. The probability of drawing every card in order from a pre-written list is approximately 1 in 8 x 1067 !

A bag contain 4 green 6 black 7 white balls a ball is drawn at random what is the probability that it is a green or a black ball?

This is a law of addition probability which states that the probability of A or B equals the probability of A plus the probability of B minus the probability of A and B. Written in mathematical terms, the equation is: P(AorB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB) where P(AnB) = 0 (since you can not pull out a green and black ball at the same time). Let P(A) = Probability of drawing the green ball & let P(B) = Probability of drawing the black ball. Total outcomes is 17. So, P(A) = 4/17 & P(B) = 6/17. Therefore P(green or black) = 4/17 + 6/17 = 10/17.
