We have a binomial probabiity  problem....3 of the  dice  must  show odd  and each one has a probability of (1/2) of that....the other 7 each have a probability of (1/2) of showing even.....we need to  choose any  3 of the  10 to show  odd...so we have

 

C(10,3) (1/2)^3 (1/2)^7  =  15 /128 ≈ .117
