Answered by PsyDAG
If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

There is no replacement.

All Repub. = 51/108 * 50/107 * 49/106 = ?

All Dem = 48/108 * 47/107 * 46/106 = ?

One each = 1/108 * 51/107 * 48/106 = ?
