RB_CH04_Q038. Two children door girl appears probability two girls

difficulty 1600·answer type: expression·Not solved

Problem

I tell you that I have two children and that one of them is a girl (I say nothing about the other). You knock on my front door and you are greeted by a girl who you correctly deduce to be my daughter. What is the probability that I have two girls? Compare and contrast your answer to the answer to the previous question. Assume that boys and girls are equally likely to be born and that the gender of one child is independent of another.
