A card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the theoretical probability of drawing an Ace? (Hint: A standard deck of cards has 4 aces.) P(Ace)
The probability of picking up an ace in a 52 deck of cards is 4/52 since there are 4 aces in the deck. The odds of picking up any other card is therefore 52/52 - 4/52 = 48/52.
