Question

Wes is ordering nachos at a restaurant, and the server tells him that he can have up to three toppings: black olives, guacamole, and chicken. Since he cannot decide how many of the toppings he wants, he tells the server to surprise him. If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Wes gets just black olives and guacamole
