A Correct answer
Explanation

A standard pack contains 52 cards, including 4 aces. The probability of drawing an ace is therefore 4/52 = 1/13.

AI explanation

The sample space of drawing a card from a standard deck contains 52 outcomes. Since there are 4 aces in the deck, there are 4 favorable outcomes. Using the classical probability formula, the probability of drawing an ace is 4 divided by 52, which simplifies to 1 divided by 13.
