Answer 1

A standard deck of playing cards has 52 cards, which include 2 black nines: the 9 of Spades and the 9 of Clubs.

To find the probability of drawing a black nine, you can use the formula for probability:

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}
\]

In this case:
- Number of favorable outcomes (black nines) = 2
- Total number of outcomes (total cards) = 52

Thus, the probability of drawing a black nine is:

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{2}{52} = \frac{1}{26}
\]

So the correct response is:

**Start Fraction 1 over 26 End Fraction**
