    16

  • Correct Answer
  • 3
    4
     

    Explanation
    In a simultaneous throw of two dice, we have n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36.

    Then, E = {(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 2), (3, 4),
         (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1),
         (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

    n(E) = 27.

    ∴ P(E) = n(E) = 27 = 3 .
    n(S) 36 4
