1)
2)
3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Mr. and Mrs. Romero are expecting triplets. Suppose the chance of each child being a boy is 50% and of being a girl is 50%.
To Find : The probability of each event.
1) P(at least one boy and one girl)
2) P(two boys and one girl)
3) P(at least two girls)
Solution :
Let's represent a boy with B and a girl with G
Mr. and Mrs. Romero are expecting triplets.
The possibility of having triplet is
BBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, GBB, GBG, GGB, GGG
Total outcome = 8
1) P(at least one boy and one girl)
Favorable outcome = BBG, BGB, BGG, GBB, GBG, GGB=6
2) P(at least one boy and one girl)
Favorable outcome = BBG, BGB, GBB=3
3) P(at least two girls)
Favorable outcome = BGG, GBG, GGB, GGG=4
