A box contains 40 batteries, 5 of which have low lifetimes, 30 of which have average lifetimes, and 5 of which have high lifetimes. A consumer requires 8 batteries to run an appliance and randomly selects them all from the box. What is the probability that among the 8 batteries fitted into the consumer's appliance, there are exactly 2 low, 4 average and 2 high lifetimes batteries?
