2. A friend is giving a dinner party. His current wine supply includes 8 bottles of zinfandel, 10 of merlot and 12 of cabernet. Pick 6 bottles at random. (a) What is the probability of getting two bottles of each variety? (b) What is the probability of getting all of the same variety? (c) What is the probability of getting at least two cabernet? (d) What is the probability of getting the first merlot at the fourth pick? 3. Suppose that 30% of computer owners use a Macintosh. 50% use Windows, and 20% use Linux.

Hi,
Can someone please show the steps for solving problem 2.?
Thank you
![1. Suppose that 55% of all adults regularly consume coffee, 45% regularly consume carbonated soda, and
70% regularly consume at least one of these two products.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected adult regularly consumes both coffee and soda?
(b) If a randomly selected adult regularly consumes soda, what is the probability that he/she also
regularly consumes coffee?
(c) What is the probability that a randomly selected adult does not regularly consume at least one
of these two products?
