Question 799338: A family is going to have 4 children. Find the probability for each of the following events:
1.)The family has exactly 2 male children
2.) The family has at most 2 male children Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A family is going to have 4 children. Find the probability for each of the following events:
1.)The family has exactly 2 male children
P(x = 2) = 4C2*(1/2)^4 = 6/16 = 3/8
-------------------------------------------
2.) The family has at most 2 male children
P(0<= x <=2) = binomcdf(4,1/2,2) = 11/16
