In order to obtain the solution for this question, we need to find the sample space for 2 dice, which is given by:
As we can note, there are 36 events and there are 4 events which sum is less than five and even:
Since the probability is defined as the number of possible outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes, we have
[tex]P(\text{ sum less than 5 and even\rparen=}\frac{4}{36}[/tex]By simplifying this result, the answer is:
[tex]P(\text{ less than 5 and even\rparen=}\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
