Out of 7 children the youngest is boy then find the probability that all the remaining children are boys
a) 1/64
b) 1/32
c) 1/128
d) 1/256
Read Solution (Total 12)
-
- a) 1/64 ....
the probability of the remainin children bein boys will be(1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2)=1/64
1/2 comes becos each of child could either be a boy or a gal ...so probaility vl be 1/2.... - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(164) No(8)
- probability of a boy child is 1/2
therefore -> (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) =1/64 - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(36) No(1)
- there is only one possible whether boy or girl. here we needs 6 boys so (1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2)=1/64.
ans a)1/64 - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(33) No(1)
- as the prob of a boy = 1/2
no of remaining child = 7-1
there fore req prob = (1/2)^6=1/64 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(16) No(0)
- 1/64 since 1/(2^6)=1/64
- 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(3)
- 1/2^6=1/64
- 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(4)
- 1/64
- 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(5)
- (1/2)^6
(1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2)=1/64
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- out of 7 ,1 is already boy then remaining are 6.
and the probability of boy is =1/2
so solution is =1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/64 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- they ask you to find only remaining 6 are the boys.
the probability of the boy is 1/2.
so probability of 6 boys are 1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/64. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (1/2)^6 =1/64
