Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Two dice are rolled and the two numbers are multiplied. Find the probability that the product is even, and the probability that it is a perfect square.
List the outcomes in order: two coins give (HH, HT, TH, TT), three coins , and two dice pairs (red, blue). Then . For "at least one", use .

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Odd products. Both numbers odd: outcomes. So products are even, and .
Step 2. Perfect squares. The six doubles to , and also and : outcomes.
Step 3. The probability. .
Answer: and .
