assuming that giving birth to a boy or a girl is equally likely, and further, that no multiple births have occurred, first, determine the probability of a family having three boys in a row. now consider the conjecture (based on empirical data) that, for a family that has already had two boys in a row, the probability of having a third boy is 0.8. under these conditions, what is now the probability of a family having three boys in a row?
