    a. Since you replace the cards, then each drawing you are picking one out of 52 cards. There are four cards in the deck so each pick has a probability of 4/52 of being a king.



    Since the selection of one card has no affect or influence on the selection of the second card, they are independent events. The probability of selecting one king for each selection is the same. For independent events, you multiply the probabilities to get the final probability. Therefore



    You do the other problems the same way.
