Construct a similar sample space for the possible gender outcomes (using b for boy and g for girl) of two children. b. Assuming that the outcomes listed in part (a) were equally likely, find the probability of getting two girl children c. Find the probability of getting exactly one boy child and one girl child. a. What is the sample space? (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) b. Find the probability of getting two girl childrern (Type an exact answer) c. Find the probability of getting one boy child and one girl child. (Type an exact answer)
