Mrs Gabriel is pregnant. The probability that she will give birth to a girl is 1/2 and with blue eyes is 1/4. What is the probability that she will give birth to a girl with blue eyes?
Answer Details
To find the probability that Mrs. Gabriel will give birth to a girl with blue eyes, we can multiply the probabilities of each event.
Given:
Probability of giving birth to a girl = 1/2
Probability of having a baby with blue eyes = 1/4
To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the individual probabilities:
Probability of girl with blue eyes = (Probability of girl) * (Probability of blue eyes)
= (1/2) * (1/4)
= 1/8
Therefore, the probability that Mrs. Gabriel will give birth to a girl with blue eyes is 1/8.
So, the correct answer is 1/8.
