Question

If you are dealt two cards successively (with replacement of the first) from a standard 52-card deck, find the probability of getting a heart on the first card and a diamond on the second.

Answer 1

There are 13 hearts in a standard 52-card deck.

The probability of getting a heart on the first card is 13 / 52 = 1/4

Given that the first card was replaced, the probability of getting a diamond on the second card is 13 / 52 = 1/4

Therefore, the probability of getting a heart on the first card and a diamond on the second is given by 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16.
