If an integer is to be randomly selected from set M above

M = {-6, -5, -4, -3, -2}
T = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}

If an integer is to be randomly selected from set M above and an integer is to be randomly selected from set T above, what is the probability that the product of the two integers will be negative?

A. 0
B. 1/3
C. 2/5
D. 1/2
E. 3/5

Soln: Total number of possible ways of choosing two integers is = 5 * 6 = 30 ways
Now for the product of two integers to be chosen to be negative = they should be of opposite sign. Since set M has all negative numbers, thus we move to set T which has 3 positive numbers.
Thus total number of possible ways in which product will be negative is = 5 * 3 = 15

Probability that the product of the two integers will be negative
= 15/30
= 1/2
Ans is D
