You're playing a game where you defend your village from an orc invasion. There are 3 characters (elf, hobbit, or human) and 5 defense tools (magic, sword, shield, slingshot, or umbrella) to pick from. If you randomly choose your character and tool, what is the probability that you won't be a hobbit or use an umbrella?

Step-by-step explanation:
SAMPLE SPACE = 5+3
= 8
PROBABILITY = 6/8
= 3/4
HOPE IT HELPS YOU
Given:
Number of characters=3
Number of defense tools=5
To find:
The probability of not choosing a hobbit or an umbrella randomly.
Solution:
We can find the probability by following the given steps-
We know that the probability of an event depends on the favorable and total outcomes.
Probability= The number of favorable possibilities/ The number of possibilities
Out of the 3 characters and 5 tools, we cannot choose a hobbit or an umbrella.
So, the total number of possibilities= 3C1!×5C1!
=3!/1!(3-1)!× 5!/1!((5-1)!
=3!/2!×5!/4!
=3×5
=15
Favorable possibilities= 2C1!×4C1!
=2!/1!×4!/3!
=2×4
=8
The probability of not choosing a hobbit or an umbrella randomly= 8/15
Therefore, the probability of not choosing a hobbit or an umbrella randomly is 8/15.
