Two dice are rolled together. Find the probability of getting such numbers on the two dice whose product is a perfect square.
Total numbers of elementary events are: 6 x 6 = 36
Let E be the event of getting such number on the two dice whose product is a perfect square
The favourable combinations are: (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6), (1, 4), (4, 1)
Then, the numbers of favourable combinations = 8
∴ P (getting such number on the two dice whose product is a perfect square)
= P (E) = 8/36 = 2/9
