There are 4 kings, so thecard drawn has
probability: +4%2F52+
The card is replaced, so there are 52 cards
again and 48 of those are not kings, so
the probabilituy of not getting a king is:
+48%2F52+
-----------
The probability of both events is:
+%28+4%2F52+%29%2A%28+48%2F52+%29+=+192%2F2704+
+192%2F2704+=+12%2F169+
This is less than 1 in 10
