LetXdenote the number of elements in setX.LetS=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6be a sample space, where each element is equally likely to occur. IfAandBare independent events associated withS,then the number of ordered pairsA, Bsuch that1B<A,equals

Answer:
422.00
Solution:

Since A and B are independent events
PAB=PAPB
ABS=AS·BS
S AB=A·Bx=number of element in set
S=6
6AB=AB
6nAB=nAnBset x=nx
Case I:
nAB=1
nAnB=6
a nA=6, nB=1Number of ways=C6 6×C1 6=6

b nA=3, nB=1  Number of ways=C36×C13×C25=180


Case II:
nAB=2
nAnB=12
a nA=6nB=2Number of ways=C6 6C2 6=15
b nA=4nB=3Number of ways=C4 6×C2 4×C1 2=180
Case III:
nAB=3
nAnB=18
a nA=6,nB=3 Number of waysC6 6×C3 6=20
Case IV:
nAB=4
nAnB=24
a nA=6nB=4 Number of waysC6 6×C4 6=15
Case V:
nAB=5
1nAnB=30
a nA=6nB=5 Number of waysC6 6C5 6=6
Total ordered pairs =422
