If a number is selected at random from each of the sets p = {1, 2, 3} and Q = {2, 3, 5}, find the probability that the sum of the numbers is prime

Correct answer is C
p = { 1, 2, 3}
Q = {2, 3, 5}
prob(prime number) = prob(1 and 2) or
= prob(2 and 3) or
= prob(3 and 2)
There are three possibilities of the sum being prime
Total possibility = 9
probability(sum being prime) = 39
= 13
