From the set of positive even integers between 1 and 9, 2 digits are to be chosen at random. What is the probability that the 2 digits sum to 8?
solution:
The set is={2,4,6,8}
the only sum possible here is, 2+6=8
(only one favorable date set)
but with two numbers there are 4c2=6 sum possible.
(2+4
4+6
6+8
2+6
2+8
4+8)
so probability=1/6
