Probability of combined events — practice question

In a sample of 22 students, they are asked whether they take Economics (E) or History (H). The Venn diagram gives these counts: E only = 7, E∩H = 5, H only = 4, neither = 6.
(a)[1]

State how many students study both Economics and History.

(b)[1]

Calculate $n(E\cap H')$.

(c)[3]

Three students are chosen at random from the group. Find the probability that all of them study History.
