1. There are 4 eights in a 52-card deck. Thus, the probability of drawing an eight on the first draw is
   $$
   P(\text{eight}) = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}.
   $$
2. There are 13 hearts in the deck. Thus, the probability of drawing a heart on the second draw is
   $$
   P(\text{heart}) = \frac{13}{52} = \frac{1}{4}.
   $$
3. Since the card is replaced and the deck is shuffled between draws, the two draws are independent. Therefore, the probability of drawing an eight first and a heart second is the product:
   $$
   P(\text{eight then heart}) = \frac{1}{13} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{52}.
   $$

The probability is $$\frac{1}{52}$$.
The probability of drawing an eight first and a heart second is $$\frac{1}{52}$$.
