    So you need to pick 2 numbers since that is your sample size. On your first pick, you can select 1, 3 or 5. Then on your second pick you can still select 1, 3 or 5 since it says 'with replacement'. So your possible samples are the following:

    1, 1
    1, 3
    1, 5
    3, 1
    3, 3
    3, 5
    5, 1
    5, 3
    5, 5

    If the order of the 2 selections doesn't matter then 1, 3 would be the same as 3, 1.
