[Math4u] Help! - How to calculate odds...

Hello everyone. :) I was wondering if I could get some assistance on
how to calculate the following:

Say I have a 3/50 chance of rolling a certain number on a die (or
generating a number in a random number generator, etc). I roll the
die 6 times, and come up with that number 3 times. How do I figure
out what the odds are of hitting that number 3 times in 6 rolls?

Thank you so much!
