3. Consider a deck of cards that has 80 cards. Of these, 60 have a color and 20 are
“wild.” The 60 cards with a color are either red, yellow, green, or blue, with 15 of

the same color, one is a color and the other is wild, or both are wild. (This is a
simplified version of the card game UNO.) Two cards are drawn from the wellshuffled deck without replacement. Express your answers to (a)-(d) as simplified
fractions or as percentages rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
