Question 1 Report

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.
