Answer:

The of getting an even number in first and an odd number second is
(1)/(4)\ or\ 0.25.

Explanation:

Given,

Total number of outcomes = 36

We have to find the probability of rolling an even number first and an odd number second.

Solution,

Firstly we will find out the possible outcomes;


(2,1),\ (2,3),\ (2,5),\ (4,1),\ (4,3),\ (4,5),\ (6,1),\ (6,3),\ (6,5),

So the total number of outcomes = 9

Now according to the formula of probability, which is;


P(E)=\frac{\textrm{total number of possible outcomes}}{\textrm{total number of outcomes}}

Now on putting the values, we get;

P(of getting an even number in first and an odd number second)=
(9)/(36)=(1)/(4)=0.25

Hence The of getting an even number in first and an odd number second is
(1)/(4)\ or\ 0.25.
