Question 6872: I am stuck on a question on Inequalities, Permutations, and Probibility. I think I know then answer but I am not sure. My question is Suppose you draw a card from a well-shuffled pack of playing cards. What is the probability that the card you draw will be an ace? I think the answer is 4:50, Is that the right answer? Please someone let me know.

Probability is found by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the number of total possible outcomes.
A deck of cards has 52 cards in it, so the divisor would be 52.
The probability of drawing an Ace (there are four) is 4/52.
The probability of drawing an Ace of Hearts (there is only one, or we shoot you) is 1/52.
The probability of drawing any old card (there are 52) is 52/52 -- certainty!
