Two dice are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting odd numbers on both the dice is ______.
Options
`6/36`
`3/36`
`12/36`
`9/36`
Solution
Two dice are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting odd numbers on both the dice is `bbunderline(9/36)`.
Explanation:
The number of all possible outcomes is 6 × 6 = 36 since each die has 6 faces.
The odd numbers on one die, which are 1, 3, and 5. There are 3 odd numbers, and since the dice are independent, there are 3 × 3 = 9 ways to get an odd number on both dice.
`P(E)="Number of outcomes favourable to E"/ "Number of all possible outcomes of the experiment"`
`P(E)=9/36`
