Question 325063
In a certain lottery, 3 different numbers between 1 and 8 inclusive are drawn at random. These are the winning number. If you choose 3 different numbers at random between 1 and 8, what is the probability you will match the winning numbers? Assume that the order of the numbers is unimportant. 
--------------------
It's not specified, but to get that answer:
No repeats are allowed, ie, 888 is not valid.
-------------
The 1st number is one of 8, then 1 of 7, then 1 of 6.
= 8*7*6
But since is says order doesn't matter, 876 is the same as 678 and 786, etc
That gives each possible number 6 different ways it can be selected.
--> 8*7*6/6
= 8*7
= 1/56
