One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of $52$ cards. The probability of drawing an ace is ___________.

• A. $\frac{1}{12}$
• B. $\frac{1}{13}$
• C. $\frac{1}{50}$
• D. $\frac{3}{10}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{1}{13}$

Total number of cards in a deck $=52$

Number of aces in a deck $=4$

$\Rightarrow$ Probability $=$ Number of aces that can be drawn $÷$ Total number of cards in deck $=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}$
