To solve the problem step-by-step, we need to find the probability that the minimum of three randomly chosen numbers from the set {1, 2, 3, ..., 8} is 3, given that their maximum is 6. ### Step 1: Understand the conditions We are given that the maximum of the three chosen numbers is 6. This means that the numbers can only be chosen from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. **Hint:** Identify the range of numbers you can choose from based on the maximum value. ### Step 2: Determine the sample space ...
