Solution

Total number of possible outcomes is 6×6×6=216
First die we can get any number, so number of ways is 6
Second die can get any number except the one which first die got, so the number of ways is 5
Third die can get any number except the one which first and second dies got, so the number of ways is 4
Therefore the total number of ways such that all three dies got different numbers is 4×5×6=120
The probability is 120216=59.
