Question 1126611: Two different numbers are randomly selected from the set ${ - 2, -1, 0, 3, 4, 5}$ and multiplied together. What is the probability that the product is $0$? Answer by ikleyn(52803) (Show Source):
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 = .
