  19. Greg wrote the numbers 1-9 on pieces of paper and placed them in a hat. He randomly selected one piece of paper and replaced it. What is the probability that he will select a piece of paper with an odd number on it and then select one with an even number on it?

  20. Seth places 7 red cards , 9 blue cards and 4 yellow cards in a bag. All the cards are the same size and shape. He randomly selects a card. It is yellow. He does not replace it. Seth will randomly select a second card from the bag. What is the probability that he will select a blue card?
