The probability of picking a 5 on the first draw is 1/4.
Without putting the first card back, there are now only three cards left, two of which are less than 8 (6 and 7).
So the probability of picking a number less than 8 on the second draw, given that a 5 was picked on the first draw, is 2/3.
Thus, the overall probability of picking a 5 and then picking a number less than 8 is (1/4) x (2/3) = 1/6 or approximately 0.167.
You pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.
