Assume that a flower bed contains 40 flowers. Suppose that 8 of the flowers are white, 8 of the flowers are pink, 8 are yellow, 8 are orange, and 8 are green. Suppose that 10 flowers are randomly selected, without replacement. What is the probability that exactly 2 of the flowers are yellow, exactly 4 of the flowers are another common color and exactly 4 of the flowers are a third common color
