There are 8 possible combinations of birth order for families with 3 children (b = boy and g = girl): bbb, bbg, bgb, bgg, gbb, gbg, ggb, ggg. Assume all outcomes are equally likely. You select a three-child family at random. What is the probability that at least one child is a boy? Round your answer to three decimal places, eg 0.626.
