.

With equal probability, you can select any of 6*5 = 30 pairs different numbers from the given 6 numbers.


It is your space of events.


Of them, there are exactly 5 + 5 = 10  pairs of different numbers that contain 0 (which leads to the zero product).


So, the probability under the question is   = .
