a)If the first king is returned to the deck, then on the second selection, again there are four king cards in a total of 52.
So, P(king is drawn) =452=113=0.0769
b)If the king is not replaced, there are only 3 king cards available out of a total of 51 cards in the second selection.
P(king is drawn)=351=0.0588
c)P(king is drawn on both the draws)=452351=1221=0.00452Result:
113=0.0769
351=0.0588
1221=0.00452
