Using a standard deck of cards (which has 26 red cards and 26 black cards, with 13 cards of every suit), what is the probability of selecting a red card, and then after replacing the card, selecting a heart?

if P(A intersec B) = P(A).P(B) = (1/2)(1/4)=1/8=0.125; isn’t the probability a fourth and not an eighth?

I think you did the maths right but then said the wrong answer, as surely a fourth is the same as a quarter, would you not agree?
