Answer 1

Given:

Two dies are thrown.

Required:

What is the probability of getting a number 1 or even number?

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability

`=\frac{\text{ Number of favorable cases}}{\text{ Total number of cases}}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{ The favorable outcomes are the number 1 and the even numbers} \\ 2,4\text{ and }6,\text{ That's four outcomes. So,} \\ P(\text{ getting an even number or a 3})=(4)/(6)=(2)/(3). \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`\text{ The probability is }(2)/(3).`
