Blackjack Bust Probability

Two different bust questions: how likely are you to bust by taking one more card, and how likely is the dealer to eventually bust given what they’re showing?

Soft totals aren’t shown because they can never bust on a single hit — the highest possible card is worth 10, and a soft total is always 11 or less before its ace bonus, so even the worst case (11 + 10) lands exactly on 21.
