Answer:

0.008

Explanation:

The probability of having chosen the unique dice three times in a row would be the multiplication of the probability of each event.

The event is always repeated. Take the single dice of 5 dice in total. Therefore the probability is 1/5.

Then the final probability would be:

(1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5), and that is equal to 0.008.
