If two dice are thrown together, the probability of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other is__________?

A. 1/4
B. 1/2
C. 3/4

The number of exhaustive outcomes is 36.

Let E be the event of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other. Let the event of getting either both even or both odd then = 18/36 = 1/2
P(E) = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2.
