A pair of fair dice each numbered 1 to 6 is tossed. Find the probability of a score of
(a) two odd highlight%28cross%28number%29%29 numbers;
(b) a sum of 8 and sum of 12
(c) both prime and odd highlight%28cross%28number%29%29 numbers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


(a)  P = %283%2F6%29%2A%283%2F6%29 = %281%2F2%29%2A%281%2F2%29 = 1%2F4.    ANSWER


(b)  P(both sum=8 AND sum=12) = 0.      ANSWER


(c)  P = %282%2F6%29%2A%282%2F6%29 = %281%2F3%29%2A%281%2F3%29 = 1%2F9.    ANSWER

Solved.

Explanations are superfluous, since everything is more than obvious.
