Solution:

The probability of an event is expressed as


P(event)=\frac{number\text{ of desired outcome}}{number\text{ of possible outcome}}

In a pack of 52 cards, we have


\begin{gathered} number\text{ of diamonds=13} \\ number\text{ of ace= 1} \end{gathered}

Thus, we have the probability to be evaluated as


P(ace)=(1)/(13)
