Final answer:

The probability of drawing the 2 of Spades from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards is 1/52.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of drawing the 2 of Spades, we need to consider the number of favorable outcomes (drawing the 2 of Spades) and the total number of possible outcomes (drawing any card from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards). Since there is only 1 2 of Spades in the deck, the number of favorable outcomes is 1. The total number of possible outcomes is 52, as there are 52 cards in a deck.

The probability of drawing the 2 of Spades is calculated as:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

Probability = 1/52

Therefore, the correct answer is a) 1/52.
