The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 on a fair six-sided die can be calculated using the formula for probability:

\[
P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}
\]

For a fair six-sided die:
- The number of favorable outcomes (rolling a 3) is 1.
- The total number of outcomes (the sides of the die) is 6.

Thus, the probability \(P(rolling \, a \, 3)\) is:

\[
P(rolling \, a \, 3) = \frac{1}{6} \approx 0.1667
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is: **The theoretical probability of rolling a 3 on a fair six-sided die is 0.1667.**
