  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{9}{16}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{11}{16}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{11}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of outcomes \(=2^4=16\) Let \(X\) be the number of girls. Now, probability (atleast two girls) \[ =1-\{P(X=0)+P(X=1)\} \] \(P(X=0)\), i.e. no girl or all boys. Favourable outcome \(=\{B B B B\}=1\)…
