When a card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, there are 13 hearts. The probability of drawing a heart is 13/52, which simplifies to 1/4. For tossing a die, there is one face showing a 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, giving us a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the probability of both events occurring (drawing a heart and tossing a 1) is (1/4) * (1/6) = 1/24. When considering the probability of drawing a heart or tossing a 1, we use the principle of addition. Since these two events are independent, the probability is P(Heart) + P(1) - P(Heart and 1) = (1/4) + (1/6) - (1/24) = 7/12. For part c, there are 12 face cards total (3 face cards in each of the 4 suits). The chance of drawing a face card is thus 12/52, or 3/13. Tossing an even number (2, 4, or 6) on a die gives us 3 outcomes, resulting in a probability of 3/6 or 1/2. Therefore, the probability of both events happening (drawing a face card and tossing an even number) is (3/13) * (1/2) = 3/26. Finally, for part d, we again apply the addition principle. The probability of drawing a face card is 3/13 and the probability of tossing an even number is 1/2, so we calculate P(Face card) + P(Even number) - P(Face card and Even number). First, we need to find the probability of both events occurring. Since there are 6 face cards (Jacks and Kings, but no Queens are even, so only Jacks and Kings are relevant) out of 12, the combination yields 6/52 or 3/26. Thus, the probability is (3/13) + (1/2) - (3/26) = 33/52 or simplified to 0.635.
