Question

1.) Mrs. Tom is having triplets. What is the probability that all three children will be boys?

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

due to her having triplits it will be a 1/3 chance that they will all be boys because you need to take in account the three children

Answer 2

Explanation:

There are 8 different ways that the order of the children is 1/8 for each one.

So for boy * boy * boy = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

All of the other possibilities also produce 1/8 because each child has a possibility of 1/2 to be a boy or a girl.
