Question

A card is chosen at random from a deck of 52 cards. It is then replaced and a

second card is chosen. What is the probability of choosing a jack and then an
ace card?
O 0.077
0.004*
O 0.0059
O 0.001

Answer 1

Answer: 0.0059 (choice C)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 jacks out of 52 cards total.

4/52 = 1/13 is the probability of getting a jack.

The same applies to an ace as well.

The probability of a jack followed by an ace is (1/13)*(1/13) = 0.0059 approximately, when we replace the first card. If the replacement wasn't done, then the second probability would be different from 1/13.
