Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the die is rolled two times, so we'll have;

Total number of sample space = 6 * 6 = 36

Number of chances of getting an even number then an odd number = {(2,1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (4,1), (4,3), (4,5), (6,1), (6,3), (6,5)} = 9

So the probability of getting an even number, then an odd number is;


\begin{gathered} P(even\text{ the odd\rparen}=(9)/(36) \\ =(1)/(4) \end{gathered}
