(a) When two dice are rolled, the total outcome we would have is have n (S) = (6 * 6) = 36 outcomes.

(b) The number of outcome gotten for even numbers, which is 3 per dice is n (S) = (3 * 3) = 9 outcomes.

(c) The probability that both dice will show an even number, is one over total even number outcomes.

Probability of even number=>

P (E) = 1/9 = 0.11
