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: Option B
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})
