Slot machines are now video games, with winning determined by electronic random number generators. In the old days, slot machines were like this: you pull the lever to spin three wheels; each wheel has25symbols, all equally likely to show when the wheel stops spinning; the three wheels are independent of each other. Suppose that the middle wheel has14bells among its25symbols, and the left and right wheels have 1 bell each.

You win the jackpot if all three wheels show bells. What is the probability of winning the jackpot? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

I know this answer-- 0.000896

What is the probability that the wheels stop with exactly 2 bells showing? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

I tried 0.04672 and it was wrong. So I tried to round to 0.0467 and that was also wrong.What am I doing wrong?
