Each person takes turns rolling two dice. If the sum is odd, the person playing odds gets points equal to the sum of the roll. If the sum is even, the person playing evens gets points equal to the sum of the roll. Note that the points earned is independent of who is rolling the dice.

Probability of getting points in odd & even are equal
Step-by-step explanation:
two dice can be thrown in 6 * 6 = 36 Ways
Sum
2 = ( 1 , 1) = 1/36
3 = (1 ,2 ) , (2 ,1 ) = 2/36
4 = (1 , 3) , (2 , 2) , ( 3, 1) = 3/36
5 = (1 ,4) , ( 2, 3) , ( 3, 2) , ( 4 ,1 ) = 4/36
6 = ( 1. 5) . (2 , 3) , ( 3, 3) , (4 . 2) , (5 , 1) = 5/36
7 = ( 1. 6) . (2 , 5) ( 3, 4) , ( 4 , 3) , (5 2) , ( 6 , 1) = 6/36
8= ( 2 , 6) , (3 , 5) , ( 4, 4) , ( 5 ,3) , (6 , 2) = 5/36
9 = (3 , 6) , ( 4 , 5) , ( 5 , 4 ) , (6 , 3) = 4/36
10 = (4 , 6 ) , (5 , 5) , ( 6. 4) = 3/36
11 = (5 ,6) , (6 , 5) = 2/36
12 = (6 , 6) = 1/36
Points odd number will get
= 3(2/36) + 5(4/36) + 7(6/36) + 9(4/36) + 11(2/36)
=( 6 + 20 + 42 + 36 + 22)/36
= 126/36
= 7/2
Points Even number will get
= 2(1/36) + 4(3/36) + 6(5/36) + 8(5/36) + 10(3/36) + 12(1/36)
=( 2 + 12 + 30 + 40 + 30 + 12)/36
= 126/36
= 7/2
