A couple plan to have exactly three children.
(a) Construct a tree diagram and list the sample space.
1st column: b,g
2nd column: b,g;b,g
3rd column: b,g;b,g;b,g
------------------------



(b) Find the probability that the family has at least two girls
ggb ; gbg ; bgg ; ggg
P(at least 2 girls) 4/8 = 1/2
