Answer:
P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/80
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of books is 7 + 8 + 5 = 20.
1. P(algebra, then statistics)
The probability that the first book is an algebra book is 7/20.
Carlos then replaces the book, so the total is still 20.
The probability that the second book is a statistics book is 5/20.
Therefore, the total probability is:
P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/20 × 5/20
P(algebra, then statistics) = 7/80
