Question 1171495: A deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards divided into 4"suits":hearts,clubs,spades,and diamonds. Each suit consists of 13 cards with different values:9 "number" cards (numbered 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,and 10),3"face" cards (Jack, Queen, and King) and an Ace.
A card is chosen at random, its value is recorded, and it is returned to the deck. Then a second card is chosen at random. What is the probability that the first card is the 7 of Clubs and the second card is the Queen of Hearts?

===================
We know what a deck of cards is.
----
The 1st card is 1 of 52 ---> 1/52
The 2nd card is 1 of 52 ---> 1/52
---> the product = 1/2704
