Suppose we had two families, where Family A included 5 children and Family B included only 1 child. If we randomly chose a child from the families, what is the probability that the child came from Family A?

Since there's 6 children in total... 6 will be the number in the denomanator
We have 5 children in family A so since the just specified any child from family A the probability will be 5/6
