Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is D.
The probability of the sum of variables (x + y) being greater than 20 is 0. This is because the maximum value of x is 10, and the maximum value of y is 20. Therefore, the maximum value of x + y is 30. The probability of any event

occurring is equal to or less than 1. Therefore, the probability of the sum of variables (x + y) being greater than 20 is 0.
Option A is incorrect because the probability of the sum of variables (x + y) being greater than 20 is not 0.25.
Option B is incorrect because the probability of the sum of variables (x + y) being greater than 20 is not 0.33.
Option C is incorrect because the probability of the sum of variables (x + y) being greater than 20 is not 0.50.
