Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 9.1, Problem 12ES

Suppose that each child born is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. Consider a family with exactly three children. Let BBG indicate that the first two children born are hoys and the third child is a girl.Let BBG indicate that the first and third children born are girls and the second is a boy, and so forth.

  1. List the eight elements in the sample spacewhose outcomes are all possible genders of the three children.
  2. Write each of the events in the next column as a set and find its probability.
    3. (i) The event that exactly one child is a girl.
    (ii) The event that at least two children aregirls.
    (iii) The event that no child is a girl.
