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`

Answer 1

`1/36`

There is only one prime number that is even. When a die is rolled, the chances of getting an even prime number are = `1/6`

When two dice are rolled, the chances of getting an even prime number on each die are equal = `1/6 xx 1/6 = 1/36`.
