Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder that is usually fatal in young children. If both parents are carriers of the disease, th
e probability that their offspring will develop the disease is approximately 0.25. Suppose that a husband and wife are both carriers and that they have four children. If the outcomes of the four pregnancies are mutually independent, what are the probabilities of the following events? a. All three children will develop Tay–Sachs disease.
b. Only one child will develop Tay–Sachs disease.
c. The third child will develop Tay–Sachs disease, given that the first two did not.
