The experimental probability that 4 of 4 children in a family are girls obtained using the formula for experimental probability is; 1/10 = 10%

Experimental probability = 10%

The number of children in the family = 4

The number of coins used in the experiment = 4

The outcomes; Heads, H, represents a boy and tails, T, represent a girl

The total number of outcomes = 20 coin tosses

The experimental probability that 4 of 4 children in a family are girls

The number of outcomes where 4 of 4 children are girls, which is TTTT are 2, therefore;

The experimental probability that 4 of 4 children in a family are girls therefore is; 2/20 = 1/10

1/10 = 10%

The experimental probability is 10%
