    The probability that at least one is a boy is 0.525

    Step-by-step explanation:

    P (Baby being a girl) = 0.475

    Now, if A is any arbitrary event. Then:

    as we know P (A) + P (not A) = 1

    ⇒ P (A not happening) = 1 - P (A event happening)

    Also, P (baby not being a girl) = P (baby being a boy)

    So, P (baby being a boy) = 1 - P (baby being a girl)

    = 1 - 0.475 = 0.525

    Hence, the probability that at least one is a boy is 0.525
