You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Number of Favourable/Favorable Choices = The number of ways in which one ace can be drawn from the total 4
mA = 4C1
= 4%2F1
= 4

Probability of the card drawn being an ace
Probability of occurrence of Event "A" =
%28Number_+of_+Favourable_+Choices_+for_+the_+Event%29/
Total_+Number_+of_+Possible_+Choices+_for_+the_+Experiment

P%28A%29 = mA%2Fn
= 4%2F52
= 1%2F13

so, your answer is: 1%2F13
