The answer is 1 in a 6th or 1:6 or 1/6 chance because the chance of one girl is 1/2, and then then three girls would be the denominator multiplied by 3 since 1*3 is 3, which would make you 1/6.
In a family with 3 children, excluding multiple births, the probability of having 3 girls is 1/8.
What is probability?
Probability is simply how likely something is to happen.
Probability of occurrence of an event A =
[tex]P(A) = \frac{Number\ of\ favorable\ outcomes }{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes }[/tex]
In a family with three children, where each child can be a girl or a boy, the sample space or the collection of all possible outcomes is :-
Sample space = {BBB, BBG, BGB, GBB, GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG}
where G stands for girl and B stands for boy.
Toral number of outcomes = 8
Favorable outcome/ outcome wherein all three children are girls = 1
P(all three children are girls) = 1/8
(assuming that each outcome had an equal chance of occurring or that a girl is as likely as a boy at each birth.)
