    What is the probability.. .
    What is the probability that two numbers chosen at random from this group (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have a product greater than 12?

    There are only 10 total ways to choose 2 items from 5. List them out and see which ones when multiplied are greater than 12.

    1,2
    1,3
    1,4
    1,5

    And so on. There's 4 of them already. Do any of those have a product > 12? No? Continue listing out the other 6 and see how many have a product > 12.
