A woman is pregnant with twin boys. The probability of identical twins is one out of three births. They can be both boys or both girls equally (50/50), never a boy/girl or girl/boy. Fraternal twins can be any combination of gender, and are equally likely to be any of the four combinations. What is the probability the twins are identical? Use Baye's Theorem.
