If x is chosen at random from the set 1 , 2 . 3 , 4 and y is chosen at random from the set 5 , 6 , 7 , then…

If x is chosen at random from the set 1,2.3,4 and y is chosen at random from the set 5,6,7, then the probability that xy will be even is
  1. 56
  2. 16
  3. 12
  4. 23

Solution

Given,

x is chosen at random from the set 1,2.3,4,

And y is chosen at random from the set 5,6,7,

Now given that xy will be even, then number of outcomes will be 1,6,2,5,2,6,2,7,3,6,4,5,4,6,4,78 outcomes

Now total sample space will be 4×3=12,

Now probability will be 812=23
