Question 1143307: A game is played in which you draw 2 cards from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. (replacing the first card into the deck before drawing the second).
What is the probability that both cards are hearts? (as a percentage rounded to one decimal place)

Since the first card is replaced before drawing the second card, the probability of a heart on each draw is 1/4. So the probability of hearts on both draws is (1/4)*(1/4) = 1/16 = .0625

Change that to a percentage and round as directed.
