HEY MATE!!!❤❤❤HERE'S UR ANSWER!! ❤❤
The probability that each child will be a boy is 1/2.
The probability that each child will be a girl is 1/2. The probability of no. boys = 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/8 The probability of at least 1 boy = 1 - the probability of no boys. = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8 or The number of the possibilities is shown below Probability of 0 boys = 1/8
Probability of 1 boy = 3 × 1/8 = 3/8
Probability of 2 boys = 3 × 1/8 = 3/8
Probability of 3 boys = 1/8
The probability of at least 1 boy is equal to the probability of 1 or 2 or 3boys which = 3/8 + 3/8 + 1/8 = 7/8.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!!! ❤❤❤

》ANSWER《
The probability of having at least one boy is 7/8.
SOLUTION⤵
_________________________
The probability that each child will be a boy is 1/2.
AND
The probability that each child will be a girl is 1/2.
The probability of number of boys = 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/8.
The probability of at least 1 boy = 1 - the probability of number of boys = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
or
The number of the possibilities is shown below probability of 0 boys = 1/8
Probability of 1 boy = 3 × 1/8 = 3/8
Probability of 2 boys = 3 × 1/8 = 3/8
Probability of 3 boys = 1/8
The probability of at least 1 boy is equal to the probability of 1 or 2 or 3 boys which = 3/8 + 3/8 + 1/8 = 7/8.
