1 out of 6 Nummy Cereal boxes has a bobblehead of Ricky Gervais inside. If Katie buys 3 Nummy Cereal boxes, what is the probability that at least one will have a Ricky Gervais bobblehead inside? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Use complementary counting and find the number of boxes that don't  have a bobblehead inside.

 

\(1 - (\frac{1}{6})^3 = \boxed{\frac{215}{216}}\)

Hmmmm.... shouldn't that be ?

1 - (5/6)3 =  11/36

Oops, my bad. Your answer is correct.
