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 in an event that a male person will get pregnant mathematically?
The mathematical probability is 0.
When a family of seven boys and no girls is expecting an eighth child what is the probability of the next child being a girl?
If the gender of a child were an independent variable then the genders of the existing children would be irrelevant and so the probability of the next child being a girl would be approximately 1/2.It would be approximately 1/2 because the overall proportion is not exactly half. However, and more important, is the fact that the gender of a child is affected by the parents' genes and so is not independent of the gender of previous children.
What is the probability that the 6 child family has exactly two girls?
