Question

If 2 cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 cards.The first card is placed back in the deck before the 2nd card is drawn.What is the probability that a heart and a club will be drawn ?

Answer 1

There are 13 cards of each suit.

Picking a heart would be 13/52 which reduces to 1/4

Then replacing the card and picking a club would be the same : 1/4

Picking a heart then a club would be 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16

Answer: 1/16
