Question

**Probability Problem: Office Hallway**

A hallway has 8 offices on one side and 5 offices on the other side. A worker randomly starts in one office and randomly goes to a second and then a third office (all three different). What is the probability that the worker crosses the hallway at least once?

**Options:**

- 7/13
- 8/13
- 9/13
- 10/13
- 11/13

**Explanation:**

To solve the problem, we need to determine the chances that the worker crosses from one side of the hallway to the other at least once over the course of visiting three different offices.
