Question:

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability that the product of the numbers is even?

Show Hint

Remember: Product is even if at least one number is even. Use complementary probability when direct counting is complex.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Total outcomes when two dice are rolled = \( 6 \times 6 = 36 \) We find the number of outcomes where the product is odd (both numbers must be odd): Odd numbers on a die: 1, 3, 5 → 3 options So, number of outcomes where both dice are odd: \[ 3 \times 3 = 9 \Rightarrow \text{So even product cases} = 36 - 9 = 27 \Rightarrow \text{Probability} = \frac{27}{36} = \frac{3}{4} \]
