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#
