The probability
( P(A \cap B \cap C) ) is ( (1)/(24) ).

The probability of the intersection of three independent events A, B, and C is given by the product of their individual probabilities. Therefore, the probability ( P(A \cap B \cap C) ) is calculated as:


[ P(A \cap B \cap C) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) ]

Substituting the given probabilities, we have:


[ P(A \cap B \cap C) = (1)/(3) * (1)/(4) * (1)/(2) ]\\[ P(A \cap B \cap C) = (1)/(24) ]

Therefore, the probability
( P(A \cap B \cap C) ) is ( (1)/(24) ).
