<PRE><B>Question 922369</B>
Boxes of Cheerios contain a CD. There are three different CD&#39;s. You buy three boxes. Of course there is the probability that there will be duplicates among her prizes. What is the probability that she gets the three different CD&#39;s.
----------------
# of ways to succeed: 3*2*1 = 6
# of possible results: 3*3*3 = 27
-----
P(gets 3 diff) = 6/27 = 2/9
