    a) 0.00563

    b) 1

    c) 0

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total = 40+30+20 = 90

    a) (20C8*30C6*40C6) / 90C20

    = 0.00563

    b) 1 - (no chocolate + 1 chocolate)

    1 - [ (50C20) + (40C1*50C19) ]/90C20

    1 - 0.00002478

    = 0.9999752187

    c) [40C20+20C20+30C20]/90C20

    = 0.0000000027045
