A coin has heads and tails. Two possibilities. The probability of getting heads is one chance in 2. 1:2
There are 52 cards in a standard card deck. Each suit has 13 different values. Each suit has one ace. Two of the suits are red. So there are 2 red aces
52 possibilities containing 2 red aces 2:52 or 1:26 (one chance out of 26)
