Geoff wants to work out the probability that the outcome of the multiplication is an even number or a prime number. Here is his working.

The probability the outcome is an even number is 6 over 12

The probability the outcome is a prime number is 3 over 12

The probability the outcome is an even number or a prime number is 6 over 12 plus 3 over 12 space equals space 9 over 12

Geoff is wrong.
Explain his error and give the correct answer.
