The two digits are selected at random from the digits 1 through 9. If the sum of the two digits is even, find the probability that both numbers are odd.

So from {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}

we want the probability 

P%22%22=%22%22%22C%285%2C2%29%22%2F%22C%289%2C2%29%22%22%22=%22%2210%2F36%22%22=%22%225%2F18
