The probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births is 0.1093

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 6 girls in 8 births.

To find : The probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births.

Solution :

The probability of getting girl is $\frac{1}{2}$

The probability of getting 6 girl is $(\frac{1}{2})^6$

Since we have 6 girls,

We also need to find the probability of getting 2 boys, which is

$(\frac{1}{2})^2$

There are ^8C_6 ways to get 6 girls in 8 births

i.e, $^8C_6=\frac{8!}{6!\times 2!}$

$^8C_6=\frac{8\times 7\times 6!}{6!\times 2\times 1}$

^8C_6=28

There are 28 ways to get 6 girls in 8 births.

The probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births.

$=28\times (\frac{1}{2})^6\times (\frac{1}{2})^2$

$=28\times 0.015625\times 0.25$

=0.109375

Therefore, The probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births is 0.1093

Answer from: originnjoku3632

The probability of having exactly girls in birth is $\boxed{\bf 0.10937}$ .

Further explanation:

Concept used:

The probability of an event is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{P(E)=\dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}}$

Here, n(E) is the number of favorable outcomes in an event and n(S) is the number of element in sample space .

The probability of exactly success in trial is expressed as follows:

$\boxed{P(F)=^{n}C_{r}p^{r}q^{n-r}}$

Here, is the probability of success in an event and is the probability of failure.

Calculation:

Consider as an event of having a girl in first birth and P(A) as the probability of event .

The probability of having a girl is $P(A)=\frac{1}{2}$ .

Assume that is the complement event of an event and P(A') is the probability of complementary event .

The event is the event of not having a girl in the first birth.

The probability of event is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{P(A')=1-P(A)}$ …… (1)

Substitute $P(A)=\frac{1}{2}$ in the equation (1) to obtain the probability of event .

$\begin{aligned}P(A')&=1-\dfrac{1}{2}\\&=\dfrac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$

The probability of having exactly girls in birth is calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}P(F&)=^{8}C_{6}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{6}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{8-6}\\&=\dfrac{8!}{6!\cdot 2!}\cdot (0.5)^{6}\cdot (0.5)^{2}\\&=28(0.5)^{8}\\&=0.10937\end{aligned}$

Thus, the probability of having exactly girls in birth is $\boxed{\bf 0.10937}$ .
