Answer» According to the question,two dice are thrown simultaneously. We have to find the probability of getting an even number as the sum.Let A be the event of getting an even number as the sum i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12Elementary events favourable to event A are :(1, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2), (1, 5), (5, 1), (2, 4),(4, 2), (3, 3), (2, 6), (6, 2), (4, 4), (5,3) , (3,5),(5,5), (6,4), (4, 6) and (6, 6).Clearly, favourable number of elementary events = 18Hence, required probability{tex}= \\frac { 18 } { 36 } = \\frac { 1 } { 2 }{/tex}
