Explanation:

emergency ? why ? you are in the middle of a game with such an unfair die ?

the probabilty for a number of a regular die is 1/6 (desired cases divided by total possible cases).

the probability to role an even number is therefore 3/6 = 1/2.

that means, even and odd are the 2 possible outcomes.

now, for the unfair die we can see it as if we have now 4 possible outcomes : 3 times an even number, and 1 time an odd number.

so, the probability to roll an even number is 3/4 (and for an odd number 1/4).

now, we roll it twice.

for the sum to be even, we either have to roll 2 even numbers or 2 uneven numbers.

the probabilty is the sum of the both probabilities (it is an exclusive "or" relationship).

the probability to roll 2 even numbers is

3/4 × 3/4 = 9/16

the probability to roll 2 uneven numbers is

1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16

the sum is

9/16 + 1/16 = 10/16 = 5/8

so, E is the right answer.
