There are 1193 students in the Spanish class, 1236 in the French class, and 1134 in the German class. There are 660 students that are in both Spanish and French, 521 that are in both Spanish and German, and 572 that are in both French and German. In addition, there are 200 students taking all 3 classes. Ten students are selected at random. What is the probability that exactly four students are taking at least two language classes?
