Question

A red die is tossed and a green die is tossed.what is the probability that a red die shows an even number or the green die shows an even number? Make sure your answer is reduced

Answer 1

Answer: 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 even numbers on each die and 3 odd, each dice has a 50% chance of showing an even number.

An easier way to think about this might be what are the chances that both dice show odd, because that is the only scenario where neither show an even number.

To do this, simply multiply the chances together:

$0.5 * 0.5 = .25$

Therefore, there is a 25% chance that both die will be odd, meaning there is a 75% chance that one or both of the dice show an even number
