- Interpret the experiment
Three numbers are chosen with replacement from So each draw is independent, and each number from to is equally likely.
We need probability that the maximum of the three chosen numbers is at least .
Then we must compute
- Find using the complement
The event is easier to handle by using its complement:
If the maximum is less than , then all three numbers must lie in
For one draw,
Since the draws are independent,
Therefore,
- Compute
Simplify: so
- About
The quantity is defined in the question, but it is not needed for the asked value.
- Final answer
