P(odd and even):

P(odd): HINT: Since it's 2 cubes there are double the odd numbers(1,1,3,3,5,5)
6/12=1/2
P(even):6/12=1/2
After you have both of the probabilities, you multiply them.
1/2*1/2=1/4 or 0.25

Since there are exactly three odd numbers and three even numbers on a standard number cube. The probability of rolling two odds is 50%. Since there 6 numbers on a cube, three are odd. With two number cubes there are 12 numbers and six of them are odd, which makes is a 6/12 probability which alo equals 50%. The same goes for even which means there is a 50/50 chance of getting two evens or two odds.
