20) A carton contains 12 eggs, 3 of which are cracked. If we randomly select 5 of the eggs for hard boiling, what is the probability of the following events?

a) All of the cracked eggs are selected?
b) None of the cracked eggs are selected?

c) Two of the cracked eggs are selected?

d) At least one of the cracked eggs is selected?

It would be appreciated. Thank you!
