Total possible outcomes = 6
Total possible outcome that it is odd = 3/6 = 1/2
(That is 1, 3, 5)
Total possible outcome that it is even = 3/6 = 1/2
(That is 2, 4, 6)
Find the probability that it will be an odd followed by an even:
P(Odd, then even) = (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4

Answer:
(D)1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
POSSIBLE OUTCOMES = 6
EVEN NUMBERS = 3 (2,4,6)
ODD NUMBER = 3 (1,3,5)
(i) even numbers = 3/6 = 1/2
(ii) odd number = 3/6 = 1/2
final answer = 1/2 + 1/2
= 1/4
therefore option (D) is correct.
