In a family of 11, what is the probability that there will be more boys than girls

P(all female)= 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

P(all male ) = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

P(all one gender) = P(all female) + P(all male) = 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4

What is the probability that a three-child family is two girls and one boy?

Each possible birth order has P=1/8. That is, P(G,G,B)=P(G,B,G)=P(B,G,G)=1/8.

So, P(2G,1B)= 3/8 and P(1G,2B)= 3/8.

This allows us to write the overall gender probability distribution for families of three children as follows:

1/8 will be three girls

3/8 will be two girls and one boy

3/8 will be one girl and two boys

1/8 will be three boys

Adding it all up, we have 1/8 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 1/8 = 1 (100%)

Step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
