The probability that one rows a 5 on a standard six-sided cube is 16 since there is 1 number on the dice that has the number 5 out of a total of 6 possibilities.
On a deck of 52 cards, there are four 5's (for each suit). Thus, the probability is
452=113.
These events are independent. Thus, to calculate their P(A and B), we multiply their probabilities. 16113=178.
