    Well guys, I'm stuck on a math question, and wondering if you guys can help me.

    "Jeff packed six-tshirts to take on a six-day trip. Three were white, 2 were grey, and one was blue. He will wear a different t-shirt each day of his trip.

    If Jeff randomly selects a t-shirt each day for the first three days, what is the probability that they will all be white?"

    I'm not sure if you're right........ Because I'm the one asking if it's right, and how you exactly solve it.......

    you have 1/2 chance to pick white everyday that you pick a shirt. Just multiply 1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2 times

    NUUU I MESSED UP

    its 1/4, not 1/5

    basically, on the first day u have 3 whites, 3 others
    so 1/2 chance
    next day, if u picked white, then u have 2 whites, 3 others
    so 2/5 chance
    next day, if u picked white both days, u have 1 white, 3 others
    so 1/4 chance
