Question 1 • NC-Math 4
Each child has two possible outcomes: male or female. For 3 successive children, there are 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 equally likely outcome sequences. Flipping a fair coin 3 times also produces 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 equally likely sequences, so it is equivalent; rolling a die would give six possibilities on each roll.
