Question:

In a family having three children, there may be no girl, one girl, two girls or three girls. So, the probability of each is $\frac{1}{4}$. Is this correct? Justify

your answer.

Solution:

No, the probability of each is not $\frac{1}{4}$ because the probability of no girl in three children is zero and probability of three girls in three children is one.
