A box of donuts contains 4 donuts with sugar coating, 3 donuts with chocolate coating and
2 donuts without any coating. Mandy randomly took a donut from the box and ate it.
Nicholas then took a donut at random from the box and ate it.
Find, as a fraction in its simplest form, the probability that
(i) Mandy and Nicholas both chose a donut with chocolate coating,
[1]
(ii) Nicholas chose a donut without any coating,
[2]
(iii) one of them chose a donut with sugar coating and the other chose one without any
coating.
