Explanation

A standard deck has two red Jacks, the Jack of hearts and the Jack of diamonds. Therefore the probability is 2/52 = 1/26.

AI explanation

Using the classical definition of probability, the total number of possible outcomes is 52. A standard deck contains 2 Jacks of red suit, which are the Jack of Hearts and the Jack of Diamonds. The required probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total outcomes, which is 2 divided by 52, simplifying to 1/26.
