A couple has three children. Assuming each child has an equal chance of being a boy or a girl, what is the probability that they have at least one girl

Respuesta :

Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the boy is letter B and the girl is letter G.

So the possible outcomes are as follows below

BBB, BBG, BGB, GBB, BGG, GBG, GGB, GGG

SO the number of possible outcomes is 8

The number of outcomes where is at least 1 girl ( triples where is 1 girl, 2 girls or all 3 children are the girls) is 7

So the probability, that family with 3 kids has at least 1 girl is

P(number of girls >=1)=  7/8
