A. 1/2 B. 3/4 C. 3/8 D. 5/16
Explanation: We get n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36 when we toss two dice at the same time.Then E = (1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6), (6, 6),P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 27/36 = ¾.
