you randomly select 2 cards from a standard 52-card deck. what is the probability that the first card is not a face card and the second card is a face card if
(a) you replace the first card before selecting the second
P(not face AND face) = (40/52)(12/52)
--------------------------------------------------
(b) you do not replace the first?
P(not face and face) = (40*12)/52C2 = (40/52)(12/51)
