A woman is expecting triplets. What is the probability that there are 2 girls and 1 boy? What is the probability that all 3 babies are girls?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25% because there are 4 possibilities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3g0b 2g1b 1g2b 0g3b those are all the possibilities, so one of those is 25%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, we are supposed to be doing this with the binomial probability P(r) = nCr p^r q^n-r
