Question 949684: Suppose that a family has 5 children. Also, suppose that the probability of having a girl is 1/2. Find the probability that the family has the following children. No more than 4 girls.
thank you. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No more than 4 girls means not 5 girls.
Find the probability of 5 girls.
Since there are 5 kids, there are 32 possible outcomes.
One of these is GGGGG.
So the remainder must be the outcomes we're looking for.
