Assume that each born child is equally likely to be a boy or a girl. If a family has two children, what is the conditional probability that both are girls given that (i) the youngest is a girl? (ii) atleast one is a girl?

    A family has 2 children, then Sample space = S = {BB, BG,GB,GG}, where B stands for Boy and G for Girl. 

    (i) Let A and B be two event such that 

    A = Both are girls = {GG} 

    B = the youngest is a girl = {BG, GG}

    Now, P(A/B) = (P(A ∩ B))/P(B) = (1/4)/(2/4) = 1/2

    (ii) Let C be event such that 

    C = at least one is a girl = {BG,GB,GG}

    Now, P(A/C) = (P(A ∩ C))/P(C) = (1/4)/(3/4) = 1/3

    Let B= boy G= girl

    And let us consider, in a sample space, the first child is elder and second child is younger. 

    Total possible outcome = {BB, BG, GB, GG} = 4

    Let A = be the event that both the children are girls = 1

    Therefore P(A) = \(\cfrac14\)

    Case 1.

    Let B = event that youngest is girl = {BG, GG} =2

    {Since we have considered second is younger in a sample space}

    Therefore P(B) = \(\cfrac24\)

    And (A ∩ B) = both are girls and younger is also girl = (GG) = 1

    Therefore , P (A ∩ B) = \(\cfrac14\)

    We require P(\(\cfrac{A}{B}\))

    \(P(\cfrac{A}{B})=\cfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}\)

    = \(\cfrac{\frac14}{\frac24}=\cfrac12\)

    Case 2.

    Let B = event that at least one is girl = {BG,GB GG} =3

    {Since we have considered second is younger in a sample space}

    Therefore P(B) = \(\cfrac34\)

    And (A ∩ B) = both are girls and atlas one is girl = (GG) = 1

    Therefore , P (A ∩ B) = \(\cfrac14\)

    We require P(\(\cfrac{A}B\))

    \(P(\cfrac{A}{B})=\cfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}\)

    = \(\cfrac{\frac14}{\frac34}\) = \(\cfrac13\)
