Calculating probabilities
Ok I'm having a little bit of trouble with this one. See if you can help me out.
I bought a pack of baseball cards on ebay and received it today. I opened it up and got two autographs in the pack. The odds on one of the autographs was 1:33. The odds on the other was 1:597. The odds of getting the two would just be 33 X 597 = 19,701 right? Now I was thinking a little bit. On the back of the pack it stated that one card was inserted 1:1 (odds of one per pack). Now what would the be the chances of getting two of those in the same pack? You can't multiply the odds obviously.... I can't figure that out.
