Jane has three children, each of which is equally likely to be a boy or a girl independently of the others. Define the events: A- {all the children are of the same sex}, B- {there is at most one boy;, Cthe family includes a boy and a girl (a) Show that A is independent of B, and B is independent of C (b) Is A independent of C? (c) Do these results hold if Jane has four children?
A family has three children. Every child was born to be a boy or girl with 50% chance. The probability of this family having at least one boy is?
A family has four children, of age 3, 6, and 16 and 16 . Let’s assume that the probability of giving birth to a boy is the same as the probability of giving birth to a girl. Determine the following probabilities: (a) that all 4 children are girls (b) that at least two of the children are boys (c) that the oldest child is a girl (d) that only three children are of the same gender (e) Given that you...
2. There are 10 children in a given family. Assuming that a boy is as likely to be born as a girl, what is the probability of the family having a) 5 boys and 5 girls; b) From 3 to 7 boys ?
2. Suppose that a family is going to keep having children until they have at least one girl. Further suppose we can model successive births as boy and one independent trials with p P(girl) and P(boy) = 1 - p. Let Y denote the total number of children in the family. Compute, for y 2, (i) the probability that the first boy born is the y-th child born; [2] (ii the probability that the first girl born is the y-th...
Assuming boy and girl babies are equally likely,find the probability that a family with three children will have exactly 2 boys.
