Male children. While it is often assumed that the probabilities of having a boy or a girl are the same, the actual probability of having a boy is slightly higher at 0.51. Suppose a couple plans to have 3 kids. A) Use the binomial model to calculate the probability that two of them will be boys. B) Write out all possible orderings of 3 children, 2 of whom are boys. Use these scenarios to calculate the same probability from part (a) but using the addition rule for disjoint outcomes. Confirm that your answers from parts (a) and (b) match. C) If we wanted to calculate the probability that a couple who plans to have 8 kids will have 3 boys, briefly describe why the approach from part (b) would be more tedious than the approach from part (a). 1) (32)0.512 ∗ 0.49 = 0.3822) BBG, BGB, GBB, GGB, GBG, BGG, GGG, BBBP(2boy) = BBG + GBB + BGBBBG + BGB + GBB + GGB + GBG + BGG + GGG + BBB = 3/8 = 0.375So since boy and girl has slight different probablity, two answer will be different but they are close3) Because using approach, you will have to list all 56 combinations

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
