Question 892801: Tom has two cubes with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides. If he rolls the cubes
at the same time and finds the sum, the sample space of the possible outcomes is the
set { 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}. Tom rolls the cubes. One of the cubes shows a
number less than or equal to 3. The other cube shows the number 4. Which subset of
the sample space describes the set of possible outcomes for Tom?
A {5, 6}
B {4, 5, 6}
C {5, 6, 7}
D {4, 5, 6, 7}

The first cube can be 1,2, or 3 since it's less than or equal to 3.
The second cube is 4.
So the sum can either be 4+1=5, 4+2=6, or 4+3=7
{5,6,7}
