\(\begin{vmatrix}& \hline 1 & 2 & 3 & 4\\\hline 1 & 1 & 2& 3 & 4\\2 & 2& 4 & 6 & 8\\ 3& 3& 6& 9 & 12\\4 & 4 & 8 & 12& 16\end{vmatrix}\)
P (product of x and y not greater than 6) = \(\frac{10}{16}\)
= \(\frac{5}{8}\)

Tosin

but they said product of x and y not greater than 6 and this answer is the answer for the product of x and y being greater than 6 I guess the answer should be 5/8

p (product of x, and y > 6) = \(\frac{6}{16}\)

= \(\frac{3}{8}\)
