Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

When two dice are thrown simultaneously, each die has 6 possible outcomes. Total number of outcomes = 36 Let E be the event of getting a product that is even, The outcomes where both numbers are odd are: (1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 1), (3, 3), (3, 5), (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 5) Number of outcomes with an odd product = 9 ∴ Number of outcomes with an even product = 36 - 9 = 27. The number of favorable outcomes to the event E = 27 P(E) = Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
