Two dice rolled, probability of both even = ?

A standard six-sided die has three even outcomes: 2, 4, and 6. Thus, the probability that one die lands on an even number is 3/6 = 1/2. When two dice are rolled, the outcomes are independent because the result of one die does not affect the other. Therefore, the probability that both dice are even is 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4. Equivalently, there are 36 ordered outcomes for two dice. The even-even outcomes are formed from 3 even choices on the first die and 3 even choices on the second die, giving 3 × 3 = 9 favorable outcomes. Then 9/36 simplifies to 1/4. Option B gives the probability of one die being even, not both. Options C and D do not match the count or multiplication rule.
