The numbers greater than 5 include the following numbers:


6,7\text{ and 8}

In one spin, the probability of getting these three numbers can be given as


P(x>5)=(3)/(8)

In three spins, the probability of getting all numbers greater than 5 can be gotten using the product rule for probability as


\begin{gathered} P=(3)/(8)*(3)/(8)*(3)/(8) \\ P=(27)/(512) \end{gathered}

The probability is 27/512 or 0.0527
