Question 1166557: At a convenience store, you have a choice of five diet drinks, 10 regular drinks, six bags of fat-free chips, and 10 bags of regular chips. What is the probability that you will buy a regular drink and a regular bag of chips?

You don't have enough information. The type of chip you choose is not an independent event from the type of drink. It is more likely that a person buying a diet drink would go for the fat-free chips - but how much more likely? Nothing in your list is a random choice. Stupid question.
