The probability of rolling a sum of six or two even numbers.

is P = 1/3

How to find the probability?

Here we are rolling two dice, and each dice has 6 possible outcomes, then the total number of outcomes is:

6*6 = 36

Now, the outcomes that given a sum of 6 are:

dice 1    dice 2.

1              5

5              1

2              4

4              2

3             3

We have 5 outcomes there.

The outcomes where both numbers are even are:

dice 1    dice 2.

2             2

2             4

4             2

4             4

4            6

6             2

6             4

6             6

We have 8 outcomes here (such that 2 are in the ones we counted before).

Then the total number of outcomes that either add to 6 or have both even numbers are:

5 + 8 - 2 = 12

Then 12 out of 36 outcomes either add to 6 or have both even numbers, this means that the probability is:

P = 12/36 = 1/3
