Here are all possible 52 cards:

&lt;font color = &quot;red&quot;&gt;
 
A&amp;#9829;   2&amp;#9829;   3&amp;#9829;   4&amp;#9829;   5&amp;#9829;   6&amp;#9829;   7&amp;#9829;   8&amp;#9829;  9&amp;#9829;  10&amp;#9829;  J&amp;#9829;  Q&amp;#9829;  K&amp;#9829; 
A&amp;#9830;   2&amp;#9830;   3&amp;#9830;   4&amp;#9830;   5&amp;#9830;   6&amp;#9830;   7&amp;#9830;   8&amp;#9830;  9&amp;#9830;  10&amp;#9830;  J&amp;#9830;  Q&amp;#9830;  K&amp;#9830;&lt;/font&gt;
A&amp;#9824;   2&amp;#9824;   3&amp;#9824;   4&amp;#9824;   5&amp;#9824;   6&amp;#9824;   7&amp;#9824;   8&amp;#9824;  9&amp;#9824;  10&amp;#9824;  J&amp;#9824;  Q&amp;#9824;  K&amp;#9824;  
A&amp;#9827;   2&amp;#9827;   3&amp;#9827;   4&amp;#9827;   5&amp;#9827;   6&amp;#9827;   7&amp;#9827;   8&amp;#9827;  9&amp;#9827;  10&amp;#9827;  J&amp;#9827;  Q&amp;#9827;  K&amp;#9827; 

Here are the only &quot;successful&quot; cards:&lt;font color = &quot;red&quot;&gt;
 
A&amp;#9829;                                     9&amp;#9829;  
A&amp;#9830;                                     9&amp;#9830;&lt;/font&gt;
A&amp;#9824;                                     9&amp;#9824;   
A&amp;#9827;                                     9&amp;#9827;  

Count them! There are 8 &quot;successful&quot; cards out of 52 possible cards,

In probability theory, when all possibilities are equally likely,

&quot;out of&quot; means &quot;over&quot;. So 8 out of 52 is a probability of 8/52 which 
reduces to 2/13.
