Answer:

₄P₁ ₃P₁ / ₉P₂

Explanation:

The order of the digits is important, so we need to use permutations. There are 4 even digits between 1 and 9 (2, 4, 6, and 8).

The number of ways to select the first even digit from 4 is ₄P₁.

The number of ways to select the second even digit from 3 is ₃P₁.

The number of ways to select 2 digits from 9 is ₉P₂.

The probability is therefore ₄P₁ ₃P₁ / ₉P₂.
