For next two problems, write all your steps clearly and write your answer as an exact simplified fraction (not as a decimal) on the front page;
19. At a certain gas station, 40% of the customers use regular gas, 35% use plus gas, and 25% use premium. Of those customers using regular gas, only 30% fill their tanks. Of those customers using plus, only 60% fill their tanks, whereas of those using premium, only 50% fill their tanks. If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that plus gas is requested?
20. A box contains 7 red balls, 2 yellow balls, and 1 green ball, which you cannot see inside the box. You are allowed to select two of the balls one after another without replacement. You win $20 for selecting the green ball and $5 for selecting a yellow ball and none for selecting a red ball. What is the probability that you win exactly $25? Show your steps below and enter your answer as an exact simplified fraction on the first page.
