What is the probability of producing a male offspring?
you have a 50/50 chance of producing both a male and female offspring, it really depends on whether or not your offspring's DNA will have XY chromosomes (male) or XX chromosomes (female)
What is the probability that a colorblind female and a normal color vision male will produce an colorblind offspring?
100% of all male offspring will be colorblind. 0% of all femal offspring will be colorblind.
What is the probability of having 3 male offspring in a row?
There are factors such as genetic tendencies, age etc which favour male or female offspring so that the probability of a male offspring is not uniformally 1/2. Next, the question does not specify how many offspring in all, so the possible sequences could be [any sequence whether or not containing MMM] followed by [MMM] followed by [any sequence whether or not containing MMM]. As the sequence grows longer, the probability that somewhere in the sequence there are 3 male offspring in a row increases. For 3 offspring, the probability is 1/8 = 0.125 for 8 offspring, the probability is 107/256 = 0.418 The probabilities would need to be weighted together using the proportion of families that have 3 children, 4 children, and so on.
What is the probability that an offspring will be white?
The question depends on what the offspring is of!
Principle of probabilities?
the probability of the offspring for a second generation.
