Assume that the birth of a boy or a girl are the same likely. Find the distribution of the random variable X = number of boys in a group of four newborn babies. Find EX and D²X. What is more likely: there are exactly two boys or there are at least three of them? P(X = 2) = 6/64 > (P(X = 3) = 4/64) + (P(X = 4) = 1/64)] [Ans. P(EX = 2 ;
