Answer:
(1)/(10)

Explanation:

Probability =
\frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}

Given : A number cube is tossed and one card is randomly drawn.

Total outcomes for cube = 6

Total outcomes fro cards = 5

Number of yellow cards = 3

Event 1 : drawing 3 on cube .


P(E_1)=(1)/(6)

Event 2 : drawing a yellow card .


P(E_2)=(3)/(5)

Since both events are independent then probability of getting 3 on cube and a yellow card is
P(E_1)* P(E_2)

i.e.
\text{P(3, yellow)}=(1)/(6)*(3)/(5)=(1)/(10)

Hence, P(3, yellow)=
(1)/(10)
