"You select 2 of them and putting each back in the bowl after it is selected."
That is not proper English; it is unclear what is really being done.
Therefore, your question can't be answered.

The notion "experiment", and especially "statistical experiment" NECESARILY includes
some MEASUREMENT or observation :
color, or weigh, or height, or age, or type of cards, and so on . . . and then calculation some probability.
Nothing of that is in your description.
Therefore, this formulation does not represent neither experiment, nor statistical experiment, at all.
It is simply a collection of English words written in one line without any reasonable/visible sense.
