Answer:

(a) $\frac{1}{17}$ (b) $\frac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Suppose that two cards are randomly selected from a standard $52$ card deck.

TO FIND: (a) What is the probability that the first card is a club and the second card is a club if the sampling is done without replacement? (b) What is the probability that the first card is a club and the second card is a club if the sampling is done with replacement.
