Can someone help me with this math problem ?

A board game uses a deck of 20 cards. There are 5 of each type of card. Two cards are selected at random from this deck. Determine the probability that neither card shows a 2 or 3 both with and without replacement
更新1:

Never mind. There are not 5 of each type of card

What if the card types are: yellow, dog, New Zealand, car, and water? Then the probability of showing a 2 or 3 is just about zero.

Assuming that "a 2" and "a 3" are types of cards, so that there are five of each of them, and ten other cards:

You need the first card to not be a 2 or 3 *and* the second card to not be a 2 or 3. 

With replacement, the probabilities are the same for both cards  Each choice has a 10/20 = 1/2 probability of not being a 2 or 3.  Combined, that's a probability of (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4 of getting no 2 or 3 on both cards.  That's exactly 0.25 as a decimal fraction.

Without replacement the first card has a 1/2 probability of not being a 2 or 3 (same as before) but if that succeeds, then there are only 19 cards left for the second draw, and only 9 of those aren't a 2 or 3.  The combined probability is (1/2)(9/19) = 9/38, or approximately 0.237 as a decimal fraction.
