Answer:

0.01

Explanation:

Assuming the deck is the national playing deck with 52 cards.

Your probability of getting a 3 from the entire deck is 4/52. This number is the same for 10.

To get the probability of pulling a 3 and a 10 afterwards, you must multiply these two fractions (you're expecting a lower percentage).


4/52 * 4/52 = 0.0059
