Answer:

Explanation:

If you are doing probability with replacement they will all be 1/6 each time.

total there is 6/6. If you draw a yellow card first it's 1/6 then replace it and draw a blue it is still 1/6. so you take those two probabilities and multiply them (1/6)*(1/6)=1/36 1*1=1 and 6*6=36.

Your answer is 1/36
