SOLUTION: If the probability of having at least 1 boy in a 2-child family is 0.65, what is the probability of having 2 girls?
I was thinking that maybe i can multiply 1/ 0.65 x 2/1 but i

I was thinking that maybe i can multiply 1/ 0.65 x 2/1 but i dont think that's the solution. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the probability of having at least 1 boy in a 2-child family is 0.65, what is the probability of having 2 girls?
-----
P(at least one boy) = 1 - P(no boys) = 0.65
---
Then P(no boys) = 1-0.65 = 0.35
P(2 girls) = P(no boys in a family of 2) = 0.35
