Answer» Here, S={(B,B,G),(G,G,G),(B,G,G),(G,B,G),(G,G,B),(G,B,B),(B,G,B),(B,B,G)} `E_(1)`=Event tht a family has atleast one girl, then `E_(1)`={(G,B,B),(B,G,B),(B,B,G),(G,G,B),(B,G,G),(G,B,G),(G,G,G)} `E_(2)`=Event that the eldest child is a girl, then `E_(2)`={(G,B,B),(G,G,B),(G,B,G,),(G,G,G)} `thereforeE_(1)capE_(2)`={(G,B,B),(G,G,B),(G,B,G),(G,G,G)} `thereforeP(E_(2)//E_(1))=(P(E_(1)capE_(2)))/(P(E_(1)))=(4//8)/(7//8)=4/7` |
