# In a Simultaneous Throw of a Pair of Dice, Find the Probability of Getting an Even Number on One and a Multiple of 3 on the Other - Mathematics

In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, find the probability of getting an even number on one and a multiple of 3 on the other

#### Solution

In a throw of pair of dice, total no of possible outcomes = 36 (6 × 6) which are

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

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

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

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

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

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

E ⟶ event of getting an even no. on one and a multiple of 3 on other

No. of favorable outcomes = 11 {(2, 3) (2, 6) (4, 3) (4, 6) (6, 3) (6, 6), (3, 2), (3,4

),

(3, 4) , (3, 6) , (6, 2) , (6, 4)}

Total no. of possible outcomes = 36

We know that, Probability P(E) ="No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"

P(E) =11/36

Is there an error in this question or solution?
