Trаder Jоe's is а privаtely held chain оf specialty grоcery stores in the United States. Starting out as a small chair of convenience stores, it has expanded to over 340 stores as of June 2010 (http://Tradejoe.com). It has developed a reputation as a unique grocery store selling products such as gourmet foods, beer and wine, bread, nuts, cereal, and coffee.

What is the probability that three packets of almonds will meet your requirement?
