In a house there are three key chains A, B and C; the first with five keys, the second with seven and the third with eight, of which only one of each keychain opens the door to the storage room. A key ring is chosen at random and, from it, a key to open the storage room. It is requested:
a. What will be the probability of hitting the key?
b. What will be the probability that the chosen keychain is the third and the key does not open

A warehouse employs 26 workers on first​ shift, 19 workers on second​ shift, and 10 workers on third shift. Eight workers are chosen at random to be interviewed about the work environment. Find the probability of choosing exactly two second shift workers and two third shift workers. The probability of choosing two second shift workers and two third shift workers is nothing. ​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
