Question

if two dice are thrown together , what is the probability of getting an even number on one die and odd number on the other die ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of the die rolling an even number  =  the probability of the die rolling an odd number  =1/2

Let us name these  2  dice as  A  and  B

One die can roll an even and the other can roll an odd, in the following cases

A  rolls even and  B  rolls odd. The probability of this happening  =1/2×1/2

A  rolls odd and  B  rolls even. The probability of this happening  =1/2×1/2

∴  The required probability

=1/2×1/2+1/2×1/2

=1/4+1/4

=1/2
