<PRE><B>Question 119319</B>
Each of the letters D E T E R M I N E D is written on a card. YOu mix the cards thoroughly. What is the probability of selecting an E, then an M? The first card is replaced before selecting the second card.
----------
Prob (E) = 3/10
Prob (M) = 1/10
---------------
The draw results are independent because you replaced the 1st card drawn.
Therefore P(E then M) = (3/10)(1/10)= 3/100
