Question

A card is chosen at random from a deck of 52 cards. It is replaced, and a second card is chosen. What is the probability that both cards chosen are jacks?

A.) 1/26

B.) 1/13

C.) 1/169

D.) 2/13

Answer 1

C.) 1/169

Explanation:

There are 4 jacks in a deck of 52 cards

The probability the first card is a jack

4/52 = 1/ 13

Since we replace the card

The probability the second card is a jack

4/52 = 1/ 13

To get the probability that we get a jack then a jack, we multiply the probabilities

1/13 * 1/13 = 1/169
