In a society half of the families have one child ;the remaining families have 2 children per family?
What is the probability that a child is picked as a sibling?
-------
Let's say there are 10 families with 2 children:: total 20 children--all of
whom are "siblings".
----------------------------------------
Then there are 10 families with 1 child:: total 10 children
P(child selected is a sibling) = 20/30 = 2/3
