The only way this can be solved is to assume independence. Then, we find these answers by multiplying together the probability for each to get the combined result.
However, we have to ask if we say 3 categories, does that mean not on the other categories (this is not clear in the above)
For example, under independence, P(yellow, blue, red) = P(yellow)P(blue)P(red) = 80% * 60% * 75% = 36% or .36
If this means not the others as well, we would calculate
P(yellow)P(blue)P(~red)P(~Green)P(~Black)P(~Grey)P(~Maroon)P(~Sky)P(~Gold)=
80% * 60% * 75% * 35% * 45% * 30% * 40% * 70% * 85% =
.404838% =
0.00404838
