Hi

7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

choose two:

7C2 = 21 in the sample space (assuming Order is not important)

2 Even Sample Space: (8,10),(8,12) (10,12)

P(2 Even) = 3/21 = 1/7

two Odd Sample Space: (7,9), (7,11),(7,13),(9,11), (9,13), (11,13)

P(2 Odd) = 6/21 = 2/7

P(Even and Odd) = 1 - 1/7 - 2/7 = 4/7
