Assume that each born child is equally likely to be a boy or girl. If two families have two children each, then the conditional probability that all children are girls given that at least two are girls is:
  1. 112
  2. 110
  3. 111
  4. 117

Solution

Family has four children in total.

 Total number of ways in which at least two girls are there

is 4C2+4C3+4C4=11

Favourable case in which all are girls is =1

 P=111
