A family has three children. If the genders of these children are listed in the order they are born, there are eight possible outcomes: BBB, BBG, BGB, BGG, GBB, GBG, GGB, and GGG. Assume these outcomes are equally likely. Let X represent the number of children that are girls. Find the probability distribution of X.
