Out of 7 childrens, the youngest one is boy, what is the probability of the remaining 6 are also boy?
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- probablity of being a girl is 1/2 and being a boy is 1/2
there fore probablity of remaining six boys are=(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=1/64......!! - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(2)
- 1*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=1/64
- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- probability of the remaining 6 are also boy= (1/2)^6
- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- because the children to be a girl or boy is independent.
hence probability of remaining 6 to be boy is
(12)^6 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 1/(2^6)=1/64
- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- Ans is: (1/2)^6
Probability is 1 out of 2. Since one boy is selected out of 7 children, remaining is 6.
Hence, probability is (1/2)^6 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
