You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 12 newborn babies are randomly selected, how many different gender sequences are possible?
-----------------
There are 2 possibilities of gender (genearally recognized, anyway).
That's 2^12
= 4096
--------------
Another way to look at this is as a 12 digit binary number.
EG, MMFMFMFMFFFM.
The possible numbers run from all 0's to all 1's.
That 0 to 4095, = 4096 numbers.
