(A) Let $E_i$ denote the event that the $i^{th}$ object goes to the $i^{th}$ place.We have $P(E_i) = \frac{(n-1)!}{n!} = \frac{1}{n}$ for all $i$.The probability that exactly $3$ specific objects occupy their correct places is $P(E_i \cap E_j \cap E_k) = \frac{(n-3)!}{n!}$ for $i Since we can choose $3$ places out of $n$ in $\binom{n}{3}$ ways,the probability that at least three objects occupy their corresponding places is given by $\binom{n}{3} 	imes \frac{(n-3)!}{n!} = \frac{n!}{3!(n-3)!} 	imes \frac{(n-3)!}{n!} = \frac{1}{3!} = \frac{1}{6}$.
