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

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

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), (3,4),(3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1),6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)} n(E) = 27. P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 27/36 = 3/4.
