Answer

The probability that you will choose a bird tile and then a flower tile is $\frac{2}{225} $.

Work Step by Step

Because you replace the first tile, the events are independent. $P(bird)=\frac{2}{15} $ $P(flower)=\frac{1}{15} $ $P(bird-and-flower)=\frac{2}{15} \times \frac{1}{15}=\frac{2}{225} $ The probability that you will choose a bird tile and then a flower tile is $\frac{2}{225} $.
