Two cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. The probability distribution of the number of kings will be:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

P(king)=452=113P(\text{king}) = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}, P(not king)=1213P(\text{not king}) = \frac{12}{13}.

With replacement (independent draws):

P(X=0)=(1213)2=144169P(X=0) = \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^2 = \frac{144}{169}

P(X=1)=2⋅113⋅1213=24169P(X=1) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{13} \cdot \frac{12}{13} = \frac{24}{169}

P(X=2)=(113)2=1169P(X=2) = \left(\frac{1}{13}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{169}.
