AI explanation

A standard deck contains 52 cards, and there are 13 diamonds in the deck. The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. Therefore, the probability of drawing a diamond is 13 divided by 52, which simplifies to 1/4. The probability that the card will be a diamond is 1/4.
