Answer:

50 %

Explanation:

It is given that a woman gives birth to a baby boy. Her second child is also a baby boy. Now she is about to give birth to her third child. We have to determine the probability of the child to be a girl.

Here, the probability of the child to be a girl would be 50 % or 1 out of 2.

There are two possibilities and the possibilities would result a boy child or a girl child. So there are two possible outcomes and is equally likely with each child birth.

Also each child birth is an independent event, so the probability that the one results will occur do not depend on the previous births.

They can also gobble up these antigens and kill them before they enter the bloodstream.</span>
