Among 40 students:
\[n(A)=20,\quad n(B)=18,\quad n(C)=16,\]\[n(A\cap B)=8,\quad n(A\cap C)=7,\quad n(B\cap C)=6,\] and \(n(A\cap B\cap C)=3\).

  1. Draw a three-set Venn diagram and fill all eight regions, including “none”.

  2. Find the probability that a randomly selected student belongs to exactly two sets.

  3. Find the probability that the student belongs to none.
