In a family with eight children, what is the probability that exactly six are boys? a. 7168 b. 28 c. 0.109375 d. 0.015625
Let's count this through. The probability of the first is 1/2, the second is another 1/2, so a total of 1/4. The third, 1/2, with a total of 1/8. Continue this with the rest of the 6 boys. You now have a probability of 1/64. This is the fourth solution, or d. 0.015625.
d. 0.015625.
