You said:For (3)Hello,
I am stuck with the last question and really hope somebody can assist.
I thought the solution was 1/252 but it looks like it's wrong.
Thank you for helping if you can.

I thought the solution was 1/252......
How did you calculate that number? What assumptions did you make?
If we assume that the events are independent it means that we should handle this as a compund event thus applying the multiplication rule right?A given blouse has probability 1/2 of being either long or short sleeved.
She chooses 5.
We assume her choices are independent of one another.
Can you determine the probability of all long sleeve blouses now?
Since the probability of getting 1 long sleeve blouse is, of course, 1/2 multplying that 5 times would give 1/32 but the result is still not right...
I assumed the events were dependent hence i applied the rules for the conditional probability...You said:For (3)
