So, say I have 20 cards in a pack.
I pick one. It's the Ace of Diamonds let's say for argument's sake.
I then pick another one out of the same pack of 20 cards the following day.
Am I correct in saying that the odds of me picking the same card is a multiple of the single odds?
So 1/20 x 1/20 = 1/400
?
Because I've someone telling me the odds are still 1/20 that I'll pull the same card.
