OK, so I'm a little rusty on my statistics and I need help with this one.trying to help my son. If there is a bag with 14 balls and all are white except three. What are the odds of picking all three non white balls on three consecutive draws without replacement?

Chance of first ball non-white 3/14

Chance of second ball non-white = 2/13 * 3/14

Chance of third ball non-white = 1/12 * 2/13 * 3/14
