Philoid · Accepted Answer

A = Event of getting a sum of 3.

A = { (1,2) , (2,1) }

B = Event of sum of the numbers less than 6.

B = { (1,1) , (1,2) , (1,3) , (1,4) , (2,1) , (2,2) , (2,3) , (3,1) , (3,2) , (4,1) }

(A∩B) = { (1,2) , (2,1) } → (1)

Now, we have →

n(A) = 2

n(B) = 10

n(A∩B) = n(A) = 2 → (2)

Now,
