To find the probability that Sharon draws a card that is a Heart and rolls a 3, we need to determine the individual probabilities of these events and then multiply them together.
Let's start by finding the probability of drawing a Heart from a regular deck of cards. A regular deck of cards contains 52 cards, and there are 13 Hearts in the deck (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King). Therefore, the probability of drawing a Heart is:
P(Heart)=Number of HeartsTotal Number of Cards=1352=14
Next, we need to determine the probability of rolling a 3 on a regular 6-sided die. Since there are 6 equally likely outcomes when rolling a die (numbers 1 to 6), and only one of those outcomes is a 3, the probability of rolling a 3 is:
P(Rolling a 3)=Number of Ways to Roll a 3Total Number of Possible Outcomes=16
To find the probability of both events occurring, we multiply the individual probabilities:
P(Heart and Rolling a 3)=P(Heart)×P(Rolling a 3)=14×16=124
Therefore, the probability that Sharon draws a card that is a Heart and rolls a 3 is 124.
