sample space = 16 sum of nos. removed are (2), 3, (4), 5 3, (4), 5, (6) (4), 5, (6), 7 (5), 6, 7, (8) Even nos. = 8 of them Pr(even sum) = 8/16 = 1/2

sample space = 16 sum of nos. removed are (2), 3, (4), 5 3, (4), 5, (6) (4), 5, (6), 7 (5), 6, 7, (8) Even nos. = 8 of them Pr(even sum) = 8/16 = 1/2
