Question 969340: Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability that she draws a red card and then a black card? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
She has a 1 in 2 chance of drawing a red card on the first draw and a 1 in 2 chance of drawing a black card on the second draw because of the replacement. Then events are independent, so use the multiplication rule.
