(1) The probability of drawing an even number off the bat is 10/20. The probability of drawing a second even number is 9/19. Think about it: you’ve already drawn an even card without replacing it, so there are 9 even cards left out of 19 remaining cards.

The probability is (10/20)*(9/19)= 9/38

(2) The probability of drawing an even number is again 10/20. The probability of drawing an odd number, now that there are only 19 remaining cards, is 10/19. Unlike in (1), there are still 10 odd cards left in the deck.

The probability is (10/20)*(10/19)= 5/19
