Explanation

Total outcomes = 36. Favorable outcomes (Odd, Even) or (Even, Odd). (3*3) + (3*3) = 18. Probability = 18/36 = 1/2.

AI explanation

When two dice are rolled, there are 36 total outcomes. The event of getting one odd and one even number occurs when the first is odd and the second is even (3 x 3 = 9 ways), or the first is even and the second is odd (3 x 3 = 9 ways). The probability is calculated as the sum of these favorable outcomes, which is 18, divided by the total 36 outcomes, equaling 1/2. The result is 1/2.
