Assume that each born child is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. If a family has two children, what is the conditional probability that both are girls ? Given that (i) the youngest is a girl. (ii) atleast one is a girl.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let A be the event that both children are girls and B be the event that the youngest child is a girl. Then A={GG}and B={GB,GG}.therefore `AnnB`={GG} `rArr` `P(AnnB)=1/4 and P(B) = 2/4 Hence,the required probability
=P(A/B0=`(P(AnnB))/P(B)`=1/4/2/4=1/2
