You roll two die.What is the probability you will roll a 4 or roll an odd number?
A
1/6
B
3/6
C
3/36
D
4/6
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Probability of getting an odd number on both dice is 1/4.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are always 6x6 possible outcomes when rolling two dice, and there are only two ways to get the combination (4, 6), so the probability is 2÷36 = 1/18.

Detailed explanation-3: -The probability of rolling a ‘4’ or a ‘6’ on one toss of a standard six-sided die is. Summary: The probability of rolling a ‘4’ or a ‘6’ on one toss of a standard six-sided die is 1/3.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a single die is rolled, then the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 4 is 2/3.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: The probability of rolling two dice and getting a sum of 4 is 1/12. Let’s find how likely we get a sum of 4 when we roll two dice simultaneously. So, when we roll two dice there are 6 × 6 = 36 possibilities. When we roll two dice, the possibility of getting number 4 is (1, 3), (2, 2), and (3, 1).
