Answer

The probability that you will choose a yellow card and then a D card is $\frac{3}{25}$.

Work Step by Step

$ P(yellow)=\frac{3}{5}$ 3 of 5 cards are yellow $P(D-after-yellow)=\frac{1}{5}$ Because you replace the first card, the events are independent. $P(yellow-then-D)=\frac{3}{5}.\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{25}$ The probability that you will choose a yellow card and then a D card is $\frac{3}{25}$.
