How many cards are there?? You can't answer this question without that knowledge.
If there are 52 cards, since there are 4 kings, there is a probability of 1/13 (simplify 4/52) chance. I don't know how many diamonds there are, but I think there are 13. So there are 13/52 chances that you draw a diamond, that is, when simplified, 1/4 of a chance, or if you prefer, 25% chances.
You just divide the number of ways the thing in question can happen by the number of total possibilities.

the probability of getting a diamond is probably 13/54 unledd the jokers have been removed, in which case it'll be 1/4.
the probability of an ace or a king is 4/27 or 2/13 if jokers are removed. that's working on a standard deck having 2 jokers

52 card : 13 Diamonds
so probability of picking a diamond card is 1/4 or 25%
similarly
52 card : 1 Ace of Diamond
so probability of picking a Ace of diamond card is 1/52 or 1.92 %
Ace of any shape
52 card : 4 Ace
so probability of picking a Ace card is 1/13 or 7.7 %
Ace or King of any shape
52 card : 8 Ace & King
so probability of picking a Ace or king card is 52/8 or 15.38 %

you are drawing one card, and there are 4 suits, each with the same number of cards. so 1/4 chance
ace or a king... 52 cards, 4 suits, 13 cards in each suit
drawing one card, you have an 8/52 chance of picking an ace or a king

diamonds are 1/4 of the deck
aces and kings are 2/13 of a deck
