Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability of getting two numbers whose product is even?
Answer: Option
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) | = | 27 | = | 3 | . |
| n(S) | 36 | 4 |

Is there any method for to solve all these type of questions?

1st dice * 2nd dice.
Even*even = even.
Even*odd = even.
Odd*even = even.
So, 3/6 * 3/6 + 3/6 * 3/6 + 3/6 * 3/6 = (3*3*3)/(6*6) = 3/4.
Even*even = even.
Even*odd = even.
Odd*even = even.
So, 3/6 * 3/6 + 3/6 * 3/6 + 3/6 * 3/6 = (3*3*3)/(6*6) = 3/4.

Hi @bharath. K.
I am not understand below line.
n(S) = 6*6 = 36.
Why we are taking 6*6?

can it be solved like this: 6*6 = 36
0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36 = 18/36 = 9/12 = 3/4.
0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36 = 18/36 = 9/12 = 3/4.

We can simply solve this problem by firstly finding the total outcomes and then possible events according to problem.

n(E)=9.
Total numbers on two dices = 6*6 = 36.
Number of events when the number on two dices are odd and their sum is even =3.
Number of events when the number on two dices are even and their sum is even =3.
So the probability of the sum of the number being even=(3*3/36)=(9/36). Now each dice has six numbers. So (9*6/36)=(6/4)=(3/2).
So the probability is (3/2).
Total numbers on two dices = 6*6 = 36.
Number of events when the number on two dices are odd and their sum is even =3.
Number of events when the number on two dices are even and their sum is even =3.
So the probability of the sum of the number being even=(3*3/36)=(9/36). Now each dice has six numbers. So (9*6/36)=(6/4)=(3/2).
So the probability is (3/2).

Two odd number makes the product odd. i.e. (1,3,5).
Probability of being the product odd is (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4.
As we have to see only probability in getting odd numbers for 2 dices.
Probability of getting the product even is 1-(1/4) = 3/4.
Probability of being the product odd is (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4.
As we have to see only probability in getting odd numbers for 2 dices.
Probability of getting the product even is 1-(1/4) = 3/4.

There is a formula 7-n & 13-n. For what this formula is used?
