You are playing a game in which you roll two dice, then draw a card from a standard deck. You win if you roll a sum that is divisible by 3 AND draw a card with a number that is divisible by 3. Determine the probability that you win.
looking for help
Hey! Do you want the answer or would you like help step by step?
if u might step by step it will be help
or u can give the answer too
Ok. Lets look at the cards and dice separately. What's the probability of winning on the dice part?
1/2
(Or you can start on the cards part if that's easier for you)
It's definitely 1/2 if you have only one dice. But we've got two dice, right?
ya
When you roll two dice, you'll get a score between two and twelve. Which scores are winning scores?
3/12
It should be 3, 6, 9, or 12.
^and, not or.
ok is this the final answer
No, the final answer will take a while to get to, I think. For the cards part, there's 3 winning cards in every suit, so the chance of winning that part is 3/13. For the dice part, you add up the chance of getting a score of 3,6,9 and 12, which comes to 12/36 so 1/3. You then combine the two to get 1/3 times 3/13 which is 1/13.
Which is the final answer
1/13 the final
thnx so much
