You can put this solution on YOUR website! A couple plan to have exactly three children.
(a) Construct a tree diagram and list the sample space.
Yes, there are 8 possible patterns.
----------------------------------------
(b) Find the probability that the family has at least two girls.
P(at least two girls) = P(2 girls) + P(3 girls) = (3/8)+(1/8) = 4/8 = 1/2
