Question
The probability of obtaining an even prime number on each die, when a pair of dice is rolled is ______.
Options
0
`1/3`
`1/12`
`1/36`
Solution
The probability of obtaining an even prime number on each die, when a pair of dice is rolled is `underline(1/36)`.
Explanation:
n(S) = 36
A = {22}, n(A) = 1
P(A) = `(n(A))/(n(S)) = 1/36`
