Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability of getting two numbers whose product is even?

Question

Accepted Answer

In a simultaneous throw of two dice, we have n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36. Then, E = {(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 2), (3, …

∴ P(E) =	n(E)	=	27	=	3	.
	n(S)		36		4
