Question

Choosing Chocolates (sans calculator) Gabe opens a box of a dozen crèmes and offers three of them to Henry. Oddly, Henry likes vanilla crèmes the best. Much to his chagrin, all the candy looks alike on the outside and he has to take his chances with random selections. If five of the twelve crèmes are vanilla, what is the probability that all of Henry's picks are vanilla?
