Answer:

(1)/(13)

Explanation:

The total number of cards in a standard deck of cards is 52, in which there:

King: 4 cards <----------

Queens: 4 cards

Jack: 4 cards

Ace: 4 cards

Club/Diamond/Heart/Spade: 13 cards

Moreover, 26 of the 52 cards are red, and the remainder 26 are of black.

So the probability that a "king" card will be picked is
(4)/(52) , which can be further simplified
(1)/(13)
