If you're asking the question:
You take the Ace of spades from a standard 52 card deck, and you want to know the likelihood that you will then draw a black ace (the ace of clubs) from the remaining 51 cards, then the answer is 1 in 51.
Regardless of card, its 1 in 51.
matches = 0;
for i = 1:1e9
if ceil(rand()*51) == 1
matches = matches + 1;
end
end
measured_probability = matches / 1e9;
