Correct Answer - ` (i) 1/4 (ii) 1/9` When two different dice are thrown, then total number of outcomes = 36. (i) Let ` E_(1)` be the event of getting an even number on each die. These numbers are ` (2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(4,2),(4,4),(4,6),(6,2),(6,4),(6,6)`. Number of favourable outcomes = 9. ` :. ` P(getting an even number on both dice) ` P(E_(1)) = 9/36 = 1/4`. (ii) Let ` E_(2)` be the event of getting the sum 5. Then these numbers are ` (1,4),(2,3),(4,1),(3,2)`. Number of favourable outcomes = 4. ` :. P(E_(2)) = 4/ 36 = 1/ 9 `.
