Answer:
0.9375 = 93.75% probability that at least one of the four children is a girl.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
We have the following sample space
In which b means boy, g means girl
b - b - b - b
b - b - b - g
b - b - g - b
b - b - g - g
b - g - b - b
b - g - b - g
b - g - g - b
b - g - g - g
g - b - b - b
g - b - b - g
g - b - g - b
g - b - g - g
g - g - b - b
g - g - b - g
g - g - g - b
g - g - g - g
Total outcomes
There are 16 total outcomes(size of the sample space)
Desired outcomes
Of these outcomes, only 1(b - b - b - b) there is not a girl.
So the number of desired outcomes is 15.
Probability:
0.9375 = 93.75% probability that at least one of the four children is a girl.
