Standard card deck has 52 playing cards.

There are 4 aces in the deck.
So, the probability of event
P(A)=(4)/(52)=(1)/(13).

There are 26 red cards in the deck.
So, the probability of event
P(R)=(26)/(52)=(1)/(2).

There are 13 diamond cards in the deck.
So, the probability of event
P(D)=(13)/(52)=(1)/(4).
