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%
