Okay, there is pretty much 4 of everything in a deck of cards, 4 aces, 4 2's, 4 3's, 4 4's, etc. all the way up to 4 jacks, 4 queens, 4 kings and 4 jokers, so now we know that there are 4 aces in a 52 card deck

So we have a 4 in 52 chance in picking an ace, or completely simplified, 1 in 13 chance
