Given:

What is the probability of drawing an ace from a pack of 52 cards?

Formula used:

Probability (P) = Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes

Calculation:

Number of favorable outcomes = 4 (since there are 4 aces in a deck)

Total number of possible outcomes = 52 (total number of cards in a deck)

⇒ P = 4/52

⇒ P = 1/13

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
