Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

first we find the probability of picking a 2 and then a 5 , then we multiply the two probabilities

probability of picking a 2 on the first time is 1/4 as there is 1 2 and 4 total cards.

the probability of picking a 5 is also 1/4 as there is 1 5 and 4 total cards

so the probability of picking a 2 and then a 5 would be 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16
