There is a stack of 10 cards, each given a different number from 1 to 10. Suppose we select a card randomly from the stack, replace it, and then randomly select another card. What is the probability that the first card is an odd number and the second card is greater than 7.

First Event: P(1, 3, 5, 7, 9) = 5/10 = 1/2 or 0.5
Second Event: P(8, 9, 10) = 3/10 or 0.3

Probability of both events since each is independent is 1/2 * 3/10 = 3/20 = 0.15 or 15%
