Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that each child can only be a boy or a girl, then each child will have a probability of 0.5 or 50% of being either gender. Therefore, since we need to find the probability of at least 2 being boys then we simply need to multiply this probability twice.

0.50 * 0.50 = 0.25 or 25%

Using this data we can say that there is a 25% probability of there being at least 2 boys in the family.
