Step 1 :A standard deck of cards has 52 cards: 13 each of clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. Each suit has one 8 card.
Step 2 :So, the probability that the first card picked is a club and an 8 is the number of 8 of clubs divided by the total number of cards in the deck.
Step 3 :The probability is calculated as follows: \(\frac{1}{52}\)
Step 4 :Final Answer: The probability that the first card picked up was a club and an 8 is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{52}}\).
