Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the flower was replaced, these two drawings are independent events and the final probability is the product of the two individual probabilities.

total number of flowers: 16

yellow: 4

red: 4

blue: 8

p(red) = 4/16 = 1/4

p(blue) = 8/16 = 1/2

p(red then blue) = 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8

Answer: 1/8
