The king comes from a family of three children What is the probability that he has a brother?

The probability of a boy (male) is equal to the probability of a girl (female) which equals 1/2. The king is a male. So, we need the probability of a male and a male which is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

What is the probability that a couple with three children will have at least one girl?

The individual probability that a child born will be female is 50% or 0.5.Using this we can calculate the probability that at least one of the children will be female by:calculating the probability that none of the children will be female and then subtracting this from 1.The probability that all the children are male is therefore 0.53 = 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125.Thus the answer is 1 - 0.125 = 0.875 = 87.5%

What percentages can be expected in the offspring of cross between a female carrier for color blindness and a male with normal color vision?

50% probability that the sons produced from this union will be color blind. 50% probability that a son will not have the disease. 50% probability that a daughter will be a carrier of the allele for color blindness. 50% probability that a daughter will not be a carrier. Phenotypically this would be 1male color blind, 1 male not color blind, 1 female carrier and 1 female non-carrier. Assuming that the probability of male and female offspring is identical...this would be 25% of each genotype mentioned above. Based on phenotype, without regard to sex the percentages of normal to colorblind would be 75% to 25% with the 25% displaying the characteristic all being male.


What is the probability of a couple having a male child after already having 2 female children?
