When two dice are thrown,the sample space $S$ contains $36$ outcomes.
$B$ is the event of getting an odd number on the first die:
$B = \{(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)\}$
$C$ is the event of getting a sum $\leq 5$:
$C = \{(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (4,1)\}$
The event $B$ or $C$ is the union $B \cup C$,which includes all elements present in either $B$ or $C$:
$B \cup C = \{(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (4,1), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)\}$
