Math Problem Statement

Two dice are rolled once. Find the probability of getting a double odd number on both sides.

Solution

To find the probability of getting a double odd number on both dice when two dice are rolled, let's go through the details:

  1. Each die has six faces: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
  2. Out of these numbers, the odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5.

Step-by-Step Solution

  • Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled: 6×6=366 \times 6 = 36.
  • Favorable outcomes: We want both dice to show an odd number. The odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5, giving us 3 choices per die.

So, the number of favorable outcomes for both dice showing an odd number is: 3×3=93 \times 3 = 9

Probability Calculation

The probability is calculated as: Probability=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes=936=14\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{9}{36} = \frac{1}{4}

Answer

Thus, the correct answer is not listed in the options provided. The probability is: 14\frac{1}{4}
