An amobeba either splits into two or remains the same or eventually dies out immediately after completion of evary second with probabilities, respectively, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/4. Let the initial amoeba be called as mother amoeba and after every second, the amoeba, if it is distinct from the previous one, be called as 2nd, 3rd,...generations. The probability that immediatly after completion of 2 s all the amoeba population dies out is
