$\frac{1}{3}$

Work Step by Step

From the sample space in Exercise $2$, we can see that there are $2$ possible chances of drawing an ace out of 6 total possibilities. We can use the formula for probability, $P=\frac{n}{s}$ to find the probability that 1 ace will be drawn. $P=\frac{n}{s}$ $P=\frac{2}{6}$ $P=\frac{1}{3}$
