E. Richard is more likely to draw two clowns juggling cards, because who needs probability when you have clowns?!
To determine whether Richard is more likely to draw two cards with a product that is an even number or two cards with a product that is a single digit, we need to consider the possible outcomes.
Let's start by considering the product of two cards that result in an even number. To obtain an even number, at least one of the cards drawn must be an even number. Since one stack has four cards and all the cards could potentially be even, we can calculate the number of possible combinations by multiplying the number of even cards in the first stack (4) by the number of cards in the second stack (4). So, there are 4 * 4 = 16 possible combinations that result in an even product.
Next, let's consider the product of two cards that result in a single-digit number. In this case, both cards drawn must be single-digit numbers (1-9). Each stack has four cards, so the number of possible combinations is 4 * 4 = 16.
Since both outcomes have the same number of possible combinations (16), Richard is equally likely to draw two cards with a product that is an even number or a product that is a single digit.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Richard is equally likely to draw two cards with a product that is an even number or a product that is a single digit.
