Answer 1

In a standard deck of playing cards, there are four suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. The black suits are clubs and spades. Each suit has 13 cards, including one nine.

So, there are two black nines in the deck: the nine of clubs and the nine of spades.

The probability of drawing a black nine from a standard deck of 52 cards is calculated as follows:

Number of favorable outcomes (black nines) / Total number of outcomes (total cards in the deck) = 2 / 52 = 1 / 26.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**1 over 26**.
