Two fair dices, each numbered 1, 2, ..., 6, are tossed together. Find the probability that they both show even numbers.
- A. \(\frac{1}{3}\)
- B. \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- C. \(\frac{1}{6}\)
- D. \(\frac{1}{12}\)
Correct Answer: B. \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Explanation
P(even in 1 dice) = \(\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\)
P(even in 2 fair die) = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}\)
