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

[A].	1/2
[B].	3/4
[C].	3/8
[D].	5/16

Answer: Option B

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
