Answer:

72 outfits possible,

1/72 chance of selecting a particular outfit

Explanation:

For each of the 3 sweaters, there are 4 shirts to choose from, and for each of those 4 shirts, there are 6 pants to choose from. Therefore, there are totally
3\cdot 4\cdot 6=72 outfits to choose from (order is fixed and therefore negligible). A specific outfit would represent 1 of these 72 outfits. Therefore, the probability of selecting a particular outfit is
\boxed{(1)/(72)}
