You select a family with four children. If M represents a male child and F a female child, the set of equally likely outcomes for the children's genders is (FFFF, FFFM, FFMF, FMFF, MFFF, MFFM, MFMF, MMFF, FFMM, FMFM, FMMF, FMMM, MFMM, MMFM, MMMF, MMMM). Find the probability of selecting a family with exactly one female child. The probability of having exactly one female child is (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
