Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

There are 3 even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of the 6 total numbers.

The probability of picking an even number first is 3/6 = 1/2 = 50%

Since we replace the card after picking it, the probability of picking an even number again on the second pick is also 3/6 = 1/2 = 50%

Therefore, the probability of picking an even number and then picking an even number is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 = 25%

So, the probability is 25%.
