1. The problem asks for the probability of picking a joker from a standard deck of cards. 2. A standard deck of cards typically contains 52 cards plus 2 jokers, making a total of 54 cards. 3. The probability formula for an event is: $$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$$ 4. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (picking a joker) is 2. 5. The total number of possible outcomes (total cards) is 54. 6. Substitute these values into the formula: $$\text{Probability} = \frac{2}{54}$$ 7. Simplify the fraction: $$\frac{2}{54} = \frac{1}{27}$$ 8. Therefore, the probability of picking a joker from a standard deck is $\frac{1}{27}$.
