Question 1026618: to compute the probability of the following outcome when rolling a pair of dice: The number on the first die is even or the number on the second die is even Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The complement of the event that the number on the first die is even or the number on the second die is even is the event that both numbers on the two dice are odd.
The number of ways that both numbers are odd is 3*3 = 9.
Hence the probability that both numbers are odd is 9/36 or 1/4.
Thus the probability that the number on the first die is even or the number on the second die is even is .
