If x y can take values from the set 1 2 3 4 fin... - JAMB Mathematics 1998 Question
If x, y can take values from the set (1, 2, 3, 4), find the probability that the product of x and y is not greater than 6
A
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
B
\(\frac{5}{16}\)
C
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
D
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
correct option: d
\(\begin{vmatrix}& \hline 1 & 2 & 3 & 4\\hline 1 & 1 & 2& 3 & 4\2 & 2& 4 & 6 & 8\ 3& 3& 6& 9 & 12\4 & 4 & 8 & 12& 16\end{vmatrix}\)
p (product of x, and y > 6) = \(\frac{6}{16}\)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\)
p (product of x, and y > 6) = \(\frac{6}{16}\)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\)
