A picnic basket contains five jars: one of marmalade, two of peanut butter and two of jam. A boy removes one jar at random from the basket and then his sister takes two jars, both selected at random.
Draw up the probability distribution table for the number of jars of jam selected by the sister, and show that

Important Questions on Probability Distributions
Two ordinary fair dice are rolled. The product and the sum of the two numbers obtained are calculated. The score awarded, is equal to the absolute (i.e. non-negative) difference between the product and the sum.
For example, if and are rolled, then
State the value of when and are rolled.
