Question 749800: Consider drawing two cards from a 52-card deck. What is the probability of drawing a 2, replacing the card, and then drawing a Queen?

There are 13 different cards, i.e. 4 2s, one of each suit.
So the chance of drawing a 2 is 1/13, and the chance of then drawing a queen is also 1/13.
1/(13^2) = 1/169
1 in 169 is the odds.
