When calculating the probability of consecutive events, you multiply the probability of the individual events. Events that have already occurred do not affect probability.

1. What is the probability that a couple will have a male child?

2. What is the probability that a couple will have 2 male children?

3. What is the probability that a couple will have 4 male children?

4. A couple has 3 sons and is considering a fourth child, what is the probability that their next child will also be a son?

Polydactyly is expressed when an individual has extra fingers and/or toes. Assume that a man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot marries a woman with a normal number of digits. Having extra digits is caused by a dominant allele. The couple has a son with normal hands and feet, but the couple's second child has extra digits. What is the probability that their third child will have polydactyly?

(a) a is the first letter of the permutation and z is the last letter. (b) The 5 vowels are not all separated.

In humans the sex of an individual is determined by the sex chromosomes that they inherit....
In humans the sex of an individual is determined by the sex chromosomes that they inherit. All individuals carry two sex chromosomes, but males carry a so-called X and a Y chromosome (and are thus called XY) whereas females carry two X chromosomes (and are thus called XX). When a male and female produce an offspring, each gives the offspring one of its sex chromosomes, chosen with equal probability. Thus, a child always inherits an X chromosome from its mother...

1) Let D = 1 denote the event that an adult male has a particular disease. In the population, it is known that the probability of having this disease is 20 percent, i.e.,Pr(D = 1) = :2 Now, suppose that an adult male has a son. Unlike the father's birth, new health policy now requires that all newborn males are tested for the disease. Suppose that a particular adult male's son is tested, and is confirmed not to carry this...
