The Blair family was one of the first to come to the original 13 colonies (now part of the USA). They had 4 children. Assuming that the probability of a child being a girl is 0.5, find the probability that the Blair family had... (a) ...at least 3 girls

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a girl, or it was not. The probability of a child being a girl is independent of any other children. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

They had 4 children.

This means that

The probability of a child being a girl is 0.5

This means that

Probability of at least 3 children:

31.25% probability that the Blair family had at least 3 girls

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!
