There are 4 aces in a standard deck of 52 cards. Probability = 4/52 = 1/13.

AI explanation

A standard pack of cards contains a total of 52 cards, making the total number of possible outcomes 52. There are 4 aces in the pack, which represents the number of favorable outcomes. By the classical definition of probability, the probability of drawing an ace is the number of aces divided by the total number of cards. Therefore, the probability is 4 divided by 52, which simplifies to 1 divided by 13.
