Question:
A = {2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
Two integers will be randomly selected from the sets above, one integer from set A and one integer from set B. What is the probability that the sum of the two integers will equal 9?
A. 0.15
B. 0.20
C. 0.25
D. 0.30
E. 0.33
Answer:
Option B: 0.20 is the probability of the sum of the two integers.
Explanation:
The sample space for selecting 2 numbers is given by
We need to determine the probability that the sum of two integers will be equal to 9.
Hence, we need to add the two integers from the sets A and B such that their sum will be equal to 9.
Hence, the sets are
Thus, the total number of sets whose sum is equal to 9 = 4
The probability that the sum of the two integers will equal 9 is given by
Thus, the probability that the sum of the two integers will equal 9 is 0.20
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
