Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 5 gifts to choose from and we need to randomly select 2 of them in a specific order (umbrella first, then shaving kit). The probability of selecting an umbrella first is 1/5 or 0.2, and the probability of selecting a shaving kit second is 1/4 or 0.25 (since we already selected one item). To find the probability of both events happening together in a specific order, we multiply the probabilities:

0.2 x 0.25 = 0.05

Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting an umbrella and a shaving kit in that order is 0.05 or 5%.
