Question

Find the probability that when a couple has five children, at least one of them is a boy. (assume that boys and girls are equally likely.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The easiest way to figure this is to find P(no girls in 5 births) = (1/2)^5 = 1/32 -------------- The P(at least one girl in 5 births) = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32
