Explanation / Answer

Tom has been dealt 5 cards meaning there is 47 cards left inthe deck. If he recieves a J, he will make a pair of Js. If herecieves a Q he will make a pair of Qs. If he recieves a 8 or a K,he will make a straight. And if he recieves any heart, he will makea flush. So there are three Js, three Qs, four 8s,four Ks, and seven hearts(excluding the 8 and K). So if you addthat up, you have 21 cards that can get you a hand with pair ofjacks or better. 21/47=.4468
