Probability with Applications in Engineering, Science, and Technology

The three most popular options on a certain type of new car are a built-in GPS $(A),$ a sunroof $(B),$
and an automatic transmission $(C) .$ If 40$\%$ of all purchasers request $A, 55 \%$ request $B, 70 \%$
request $C, 63 \%$ request $A$ or $B, 77 \%$ request $A$ or $C, 80 \%$ request $B$ or $C,$ and 85$\%$ request $A$ or $B$ or $C,$ compute the probabilities of the following events.
(a) The next purchaser will request at least one of the three options.
(b) The next purchaser will select none of the three options.
(c) The next purchaser will request only an automatic transmission and neither of the other two options.
(d) The next purchaser will select exactly one of these three options.
$[$ Hint: A or $B$ is the event that at least one of the two options is requested; try drawing a Venn diagram and labeling all regions.]
