problem

Nine fair coins are flipped independently and placed in the cells of a 3 by 3 square grid. Let pp be the probability that no row has all its coins showing heads and no column has all its coins showing tails. If p=abp=\frac{a}{b} for relatively prime positive integers aa and bb, compute 100a+b100 a+b.

Nine fair coins are flipped independently and placed in the cells of a 3 by 3 square grid. Let $p$ be the probability that no row has all its coins showing heads and no column has all its coins showing tails. If $p=\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b$, compute $100 a+b$.
