In the question it is given " with replacement ".  This is a standard question in probability but without replacement.
 
Any how I answered as per the question asked, i.e. "with replacement"
 
Total number of possibilities of selecting 3 numbers at random from { 1,2,3...8} is 83
 
possible event for getting 3 = { 111 } ; probaility of getting  3= 1/83
 
possible events to get  4 = { 112, 121, 211 }; probability of getting 4 = 3/83
 
possible events to get  5 = { 122, 113, 131, 212, 221,  311 }; probability of getting 5 = 6/83
 
possible events to get  6 = { 222, 123, 132, 231, 213, 312, 321 }; probability of getting 6 = 7/83
 
Hence probability of getting minimum 3 and maximum 6 is = (1+3+6+7)/83
