We know that there are total 52 playing cards and has 4 different groups. One of those groups is spade which contains 13 cards. Each group contains cards numbered 2 through 6 But we have to find the probability of drawing a spade which is 2 through 6.

So possible number of favorable cards = 5 {2,3,4,5,6}

Total number of possible outcomes = 52 {because of 52 playing cards}


Now probability is given by ratio of "favorable outcomes" and "total possible outcomes"

So the probability of getting a spade 2 through 6 = 5/52


Hence final answer is 5/52
