According to the question, a pair of dice has been thrown

So the number of elementary events in sample space will be $6^2=36$

n (S) = 36

By using the formula of probability, we get,

P (E) = favourable outcomes / total possible outcomes

(i) Let E be the event of getting sum greater than 9

E = {(4,6) (5,5) (5,6) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)}

n (E) = 6

P (E) = n (E) / n (S)

= 6 / 36

= 1/6

(ii) Let E be the event of getting even on first die

E = {(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6) (4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)}

n (E) = 18

P (E) = n (E) / n (S)

= 18 / 36

= 1/2
