Mylee Horne · Answer 2

B) 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

This will make the fourth child; we want the probability that all 4 children are girls.

The probability of having a girl with each child is independent; this means that having 1 girl does not affect your chances of having another girl.

This means the probabilities can be multiplied:

0.5 (0.5) (0.5) (0.5) = 0.0625
