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. Probability is calculated as the ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes. 4. Here, the favorable outcomes are the number of jokers, which is 2. 5. The total possible outcomes are the total number of cards, which is 54. 6. Therefore, the probability $P$ of picking a joker is given by: $$P = \frac{\text{Number of jokers}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{2}{54}$$ 7. Simplify the fraction: $$\frac{2}{54} = \frac{1}{27}$$ 8. So, the probability of picking a joker from a standard deck is $\frac{1}{27}$, which means there is 1 chance in 27 to pick a joker.
