question : 3. In a family, having three children, there may be no girl, one girl, two girls or three girls. So, the probability of each is . Is this correct ? Justify your answer.
correct answer : False , this is not correct
explanation of correct answer :
If we consider boy as B and girl as G
what outcomes are possible = BBB,GGG,BBG,BGB,GBB,GGB,GBG,BGG
Total number of outcomes = 8
keep in mind BBB , all three children are boys , GGG means all three children are girls , BBG means two boys and one girl and so on….
as we know the formula of Probability = favorable outcomes/total outcomes
Probability of girl is
note : no girls means all boys Probability
note : in three conditions girls are possible which are = GGB,GBG,BGG
Probability of girls is
note : three girls condition is 1 that is GGG.
Hence the probability of each is not 1/4 that is why we have marked this statement as incorrect statement or not correct statement.
