Suppose you draw a card from a deck, do not replace it, then draw a second card. What rule would you use to determine the probability of drawing an ace and then drawing a black card?
A) the conditional rule: P(p • q)/P(p)
B) the general conjunction rule: P(p) × P(q/p)
C) the restricted conjunction rule: P(p) × P(q)
D) the restricted disjunction rule: P(p) + P(q)
