That's the probability of pulling any of these 16 cards:

A♥   2♥   3♥   4♥   5♥   6♥   7♥   8♥  9♥  10♥  J♥  Q♥  K♥ 
A♦
A♠    
A♣
    
out of a deck of these 52 possible cards:

A♥   2♥   3♥   4♥   5♥   6♥   7♥   8♥  9♥  10♥  J♥  Q♥  K♥ 
A♦   2♦   3♦   4♦   5♦   6♦   7♦   8♦  9♦  10♦  J♦  Q♦  K♦
A♠   2♠   3♠   4♠   5♠   6♠   7♠   8♠  9♠  10♠  J♠  Q♠  K♠  
A♣   2♣   3♣   4♣   5♣   6♣   7♣   8♣  9♣  10♣  J♣  Q♣  K♣
