Step 1
Given that three distinct integers are chosen at random from the first positive integers.
We need to compute the probability that (a) their sum is odd, (b) their product is even.
We know that sum of three integers is odd, if either all three integers are odd or one of the three integers is odd.
We know that the product of three integers is even if at least one of the three integers is even.
