.
The elements of the sample space S are all ordered pairs (m,n) of integer numbers 1 <= m <=6 and 1 <= n <= 6.

In all, there are 6*6 = 36 such pairs.

    The set A is this:  { (1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (1,3), (2,2), (3,1) }.  It contains 6 elements  (6 pairs with the sum <= 4).


    The set B is this:  { (6,6) }.   It contains  only one element (one pair).
