The formulation of the problem in your post is INCORRECT.

The correct formulation is THIS :

     A stack of playing cards contains 4 jacks, 5 queens, 3 kings, and 3 aces. Two cards are randomly selected  

     from the stack with replacement. What is the probability that a queen is chosen, and then a queen is chosen again?

Do you see the difference ?

The solution and the answer are  P =  =  = .


Here 15 = 4 + 5 + 3 + 3 is the total number of playing cards in the stack.
