A basket contains cards with the numbers 1 through 10. There are two cards for each number.
If 2 cards are randomly chosen from the basket without replacement, what is the probability that the first card will be a 7 and the second card a 2?
1st card: pick 7:: 2/20
2nd card: pick 2:: 2/19
------
Ans: (1/10)(2/19) = 2/190
