(a determine the number of possible pairs of outcomes. what is the probability that both dice will show an even number?

Answer 1

(a)
`^(6)C_1 * ^(6)C_1 = 36` different possibilities
(b)
`P(even die 1): (1)/(2)`

`P(even die 2): (1)/(2)`

So, there is a 1 in 4 chance that both dice will show an even.
