The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
The probability on the first day is 3/5 since there are 3 novels out of 5 and when you take a book out at random, all of them have a equal chance of being picked. Since you returned the book to the bag, the next day too, we have the same probability. 

Probability of a novel being grabbed both days is the product of the two probabilities-----> (3/5)*(3/5)----> 9/25

the answer is
9/25

Use the Counting Principle to find the probability. Choosing the 7 winning lottery numbers when the numbers are chosen at random

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order of the numbers doesn't matter we can use the formula:

$\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\quad \text{where n is the quantity of items and r is the quantity chosen}\\\\\text{In this problem, there are 10 numbers (n = 10) and 7 to be chosen (r = 7)}\\\\_{10}C_{7}=\dfrac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10!}{7!3!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{7!\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\.\qquad=10\times 3\times 4\\\\.\qquad=120$
