Question 1126963: Two cards are selected at random from a deck of card. What is the probability that the first card is an 8 and second card is a Queen if the first card is replaced before the second card is selected?
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The probability of selecting an 8 for the 1st card is 4/52
The probability of selecting a queen for the 2nd card is 4/52 (because the 8 was put back into the deck, there are still 52 cards total)
The probability of both of these events happening is (4/52)(4/52) = (1/13)(1/13) = or about 0.00592.
