The first thing we have to know is that in a deck of 52 cards we have 4 cards with the number 7.

Then the probability is given by the total number of cards with the number 7 over the total of cards in this case 52


P(card)=\frac{Card}{\text{total}}_{}
\begin{gathered} P(7)=(4)/(52) \\ P(7)=(1)/(13) \end{gathered}
