a.  p=((3×3×3)/(4×4×4))=((27)/(64))  b.  p=((1×1×1)/(4×4×4))=(1/(64))
$${a}. \\ $$$${p}=\frac{\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{4}}=\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{64}} \\ $$$${b}. \\ $$$${p}=\frac{\mathrm{1}×\mathrm{1}×\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{4}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{64}} \\ $$
