Answer:

P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/80

Explanation:

The total number of books is 7 + 8 + 5 = 20.

1. P(algebra, then statistics)

The probability that the first book is an algebra book is 7/20.

Carlos then replaces the book, so the total is still 20.

The probability that the second book is a statistics book is 5/20.

Therefore, the total probability is:

P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/20 × 5/20

P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/80
