You can put this solution on YOUR website! the probability of a girl being born is 1/2 or .5
A) in a family of 6 children what is the probability of all 6 children being girls?
P(6 girls) = (1/2)^6 = 1/64
------------------------------------
B) in a family of 6 children what is the probability at least one of the children being a girl?
P(at least 1 girl) = 1 - P(no girls) = 1 - (1/64) = 63/64
