The probability of drawing that specific card is 1/52
The probability of drawing a diamond is 1/4

Explanation:

Each card is unique; therefore, the chance of drawing a specific card is 1/52. There is one of each card over a total number of 52 cards.

Cards are either diamonds, spades, hearts, or clubs. There are an equal amount of each in a standard 52 card deck. There are 13 of each kind.

To find the probability of drawing a diamond, put the total number of cards that are diamonds over the total number of cards.

13/52=1/4
