Default Re: Children

There are four possible ways there can be two children. They are:

BB
BG
GB
GG

Notice that the GG case cannot exist since one child must be a boy. This leaves us with only three acceptable cases. Two of those produce girls as the companion. Only BB meets the criterion. So the probability is 1/3. [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
