OpenStudy (jessicawade):

A family wants to use a simulation to find out the probability of having at least one boy in their first three children. The digit assignment is even for a girl and odd for a boy. The random digits are given as: 2731472867829684178912. What is the correct information about the third family in this simulation?

OpenStudy (darkparkai01):

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

2731472867829684178912 the first three kids would be the first three numbers: 273 Even numbers represent girls, odd numbers are boys.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Oh yeah I guess you're meant to break them up into groups of three 273 147 286 782 968 417 891 2 The third "Family" would be the third group
