Given the question, we need to know that a standard deck contains 52 cards out of which there are 4 cards showing nine.

$\text{Probability = number of possible outcomes/number of total outcomes}$

To get the probability of randomly drawing a nine will be:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{n\text{ (nine)}}{n\text{ (total cards)}} \\ pr(nine)=(4)/(52)=(1)/(13) \end{gathered}$

Hence, the probability of drawing nine is 1/13
