A company has 20 cars that are available for use by company executives for official business purposes. Six of these cars are SUVs, 8 are luxury type cars, and the rest are basic sedans. Suppose the cars are randomly assigned each week. If 5 cars are put into use, the chance that none of the SUVs or luxury cars will be in the group is approximately .0004.
