Answer:

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{14}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is poorly formatted (See comment section for complete question)

Given

[tex]x = \{elf, hobbit, human\}[/tex] ---- characters

[tex]n(x) =3[/tex]

[tex]y = \{Magic,Sword,Shield,Slingshot,Umbrella\}[/tex] --- tools

[tex]n(y) = 5[/tex]

Required

The probability that your character won't be a hobbit or your tool won't be an umbrella?

First we calculate the probability of choosing a hobbit.

[tex]x = \{elf, hobbit, human\}[/tex]

[tex]n(hobbit) = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(hobit) = \frac{n(hobbit)}{n(x)}[/tex]

[tex]P(hobit) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Using the complement rule, we calculate the probability of not choosing a hobbit

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) = 1 - P(hobbit)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) = 1 - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit) =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Next, we calculate the probability of choosing an umbrella.

[tex]y = \{Magic,Sword,Shield,Slingshot,Umbrella\}[/tex]

[tex]n(Umbrella) = 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(Umbrella) = \frac{n(Umbrella)}{n(y)}[/tex]

[tex]P(Umbrella) = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Using the complement rule, we calculate the probability of not choosing an umbrella

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = 1 - \P(Umbrella)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = 1 - \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

The required probability is calculated using:

[tex]P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)P(B)[/tex]

In this case;

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = P(Not\ hobbit) + P(Not\ Umbrella) -[/tex] [tex]P(Not\ hobbit)*P(Not\ Umbrella)[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{3} * \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{8}{15}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{10+12-8}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(Not\ hobbit\ or\ Not\ Umbrella) = \frac{14}{15}[/tex]
