Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability of getting two numbers whose product is even?
Show Hint
In probability, whenever a condition says "at least one" or "even product," always check if calculating the "none" or "odd" case is easier. Subtracting from 1 often saves significant time compared to tallying all favorable cases.
