a group of 7 friends go to buy cokes. the coca cola company is running a promotional campaign in which certain coke bottles contain codes for prizes underneath the caps. coca cola claims that 1 in 10 bottles will be a winner. assuming this claim is true, and assuming that the wins are independent , calculate the probability that 3 of the friends will win.
