Question

Probability of four son to a couple is

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{16}$
• D. $\frac{1}{32}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{16}$

Probability of a son for the first time to a couple is 1/2 as probability of a daughter is 1/2. Similarly, the probability of a son for the next 3 times will be 1/2 each time. Hence, the probability of 4 sons to a couple is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16.

Thus, the correct answer is '1/16.'
