Let G for Girl and B for Boy, then total possible outcomes: BB, GB, BG, GG Total number of outcomes = 4 Since, we have to find the probability that there is at least one boy in the family. So, favorable outcomes are: BB, BG, GB Total number of favorable outcomes = 3 We know, Probability of occurrence of an event = (Total number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes) Therefore, the probability of at least one boy in the family = 3/4
