Answers
Answer:
1/4 is the correct answer
Given,
A bird lay two to five rounded white eggs.
To Find,
The probability that the first egg hatched is a female bird and the second egg hatched is a male bird =?
Solution,
We suppose that the bird lay 2 eggs. So, it is a sure event.
The probability of laying 2 eggs = 1 [It is a sure case in the case]
Total possible outcomes = 2 [Male and Female]
The probability that the egg hatched is a female bird = 1 / 2
The probability that the egg hatched is a male bird = 1 / 2
The probability that the first egg hatched is a female bird and the second egg hatched is a male bird = 1*(1/2)*(1/2)
The probability that the first egg hatched is a female bird and the second egg hatched is a male bird = 1/4
Hence, the probability that the first egg hatched is a female bird and the second egg hatched is a male bird is 1/4.
