Hi,
Using TI: (The syntax is binompdf(n, p, x-value)for singular probability
n = 12, p = .40, p = .35 0r p = .25
P(x=7) = binompdf(12, .40, 7) = .1009
P(x=2) = binompdf(12, .35, 2) = .1088
P(x=3) = binompdf(12, .25, 3) = .2581
P( 7 will prefer candidate A & 2 will prefer candidate B & 3 will have no preference)
P = (1.009)(.1088)(.2581)
