Using the product rule, calculate the probability that two human parents would have a female child
A chance mother contributes X = 1 chance father contributes X = 0 1 + 0 = 1chance mother contributes X = 1 chance father contributes X = 0 1 + 0 = 1
B chance mother contributes X = 1 chance father contributes X = 1/2 1 X 1/2 = 1/2chance mother contributes X = 1 chance father contributes X = 1/2 1 X 1/2 = 1/2
C chance mother contributes X = 1/2 chance father contributes X = 1/4 1/2 X 1/4 = 1/8chance mother contributes X = 1/2 chance father contributes X = 1/4 1/2 X 1/4 = 1/8 D chance mother contributes X = 1/2 chance father contributes X = 1/2 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4
