Question 1120014: A number is selected at random from each of the sets {2,3,4} and {1,3,5}. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers will be less than 7 but greater than 3? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
There are 3 sums that can be formed using the 2 in the first set, 3 sums that can be formed using the 3 in the first set, and another 3 sums that can be formed from the 4 in the first set. Total of 9 sums.
Calculate all 9 sums. Count the number of sums that are at least 4 but no more than 6. Divide this count by 9.
