Answer:

The probability that the card is an ace is [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of playing cards = 52

Total number of ace cards = 4

She selects one card at random from the deck.

We are supposed to find the probability that the card is an ace

So, Probability of getting card= [tex]\frac{\text{No. of ace cards}}{\text{Total no. of cards}}[/tex]

Probability of getting card= [tex]\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Hence the probability that the card is an ace is [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]
