In a standard 52−card deck, half of the cards are red and half are black. The 52 cards are divided evenly into 4 suits: spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. Each suit has three face cards (jack, queen, king), and an ace. Each suit also has 9 cards numbered from 2 to 10.

Dawn draws 1 card, replaces it, and draws another card. Is it more likely that she draws 2 black cards or 2 face cards?
