If two dice are thrown together, the probability of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other is ?

1
1/2
0
3/5

Correct Answer: 1/2

Explanation:

The number of exhaustive outcomes is 36.
Let E be the event of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other. Let the event of getting either both even or both odd then = 18/36 = 1/2
P(E) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.
