Two numbers are randomly selected without replacement from the set 1-5 Find the probability of each event.
Both numbers are even
Both numbers are prime
The sum of the two numbers is odd
The product of the two numbers is odd
P(Both Even ) = (2/5) (1/4) = 2/20 = 1/10
P(Both Prime) = (3/5)(2/4) = 6/20 = 3/10
P (sum of two numbers is odd) ....we have C(5,2) = 10 possible sets
Sets where the sum of two integers is odd :
(1,2) (1,4)
(2,3) (2,5)
(3, 4)
So...P (Sum of two numbers is odd) = 5/10 = 1/2
P (Product of two numbers is odd)
(1,3) (1,5)
(3, 5)
So.....P (Product of two numbers is odd) = 3 / 10
