You are dealt one card from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability of being dealt an ace.
To find the probability of being dealt an ace, we need to determine the number of ways to succeed (getting an ace) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (getting any card).
The total number of cards in a standard 52-card deck is 52.
The number of aces in the deck is 4 (one ace for each suit - hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades).
Therefore, the probability of being dealt an ace is 4/52, which simplifies to 1/13, or approximately 0.0769, or 7.69%.
