Answer:

\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A gear bag with 3 bungee cords, 5 socket wrenches, and 2 hammers.

Total number of instruments = 3 + 5 + 2 = 10

<u>Question asked:</u>

What is the probability a person will randomly draw a socket wrench from the bag?

Solution:

As we know:

Probability =\frac{Favourable \ outcome}{Total\ outcome}

First of all we will find favorable outcome for drawing 1 socket wrench from the bag randomly:

Favorable outcome for drawing 1 socket wrench out of  cookies 3 bungee cords =^{3} C_{0}

Favorable outcome for drawing 1 socket wrench out of 5 socket wrenches = ^{5} C_{1}

Favorable outcome for drawing 1 socket wrench out of 2 hammers = ^{2} C_{0}

Thus, total Favorable outcome for drawing 1 socket wrench from the bag randomly: <u>By using</u>:

^{n} C_{r}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!\ r!}

^{3} C_{0} \times^{5} C_{1}\times ^{2} C_{0}

\frac{3!}{(3-0)!\ 0!} \times\frac{5!}{(5-1)!\ 1!}\times\frac{2!}{(2-0)!\ 0!}

\frac{3!}{3!\times1} \times\frac{5!}{4!\times1} \times\frac{2!}{2!\times1} \\\\ 1\times\frac{5\times4!}{4!} \times\frac{2!}{2!} \\\\ 1\times5\times1=5

Total outcome for drawing 1 socket wrench out of 10 pieces of instruments:

^{10} C_{1} =\frac{10!}{(10-1)!\times1!} =\frac{10\times9!}{9!} =10

Now,

Probability =\frac{Favourable \ outcome}{Total\ outcome}

                  =\frac{5}{10} =\frac{1}{2}

Thus, the probability that a person will randomly draw a socket wrench from the bag is \frac{1}{2}
