If a couple plans to have 6 children, what is the probability that there will be at least one girl? assume boys and girls are equally likely. is that probability high enough for the couple to be very confident that they will get at least one girl in 6 children?

The correct answer would be, Yes the couple can be confident because the probability is close to 1.

Explanation:

According to the question, we are assuming that getting a boy or a girl is equally likely.

Hence;

P(getting a girl) =  1/ 2

and

P(getting a boy) =  1/ 2  in one birth.

Given the total number of children they plan to have  =  6

P(there will be at least one girl) = 1 -  P (there will be no girl)

= 1 -  P (all of them are boys)

=  1  − ( 1 /2 ) 6

= 0.984375

Correct Yes because the probability is close to 1.

the answer would be in this answer. someone already asked the question.  

sir frederic attributed inaccuracies to schemas. memory reconstruction is one part actual events and one part personal schema, which can result in inaccuracies when memories are reconstructed.
