Question:
Assume that the sex of a child is independent of the sex of another child in a family and that each child's probability of being male is 0.5. Let X
i
be 1 if the i
th
child is female and X sub i be 0 if i
th
child is male. Let X be the total number of female children in a family (X = X
1
+ ...+ X
n
)
Assuming that X has a binomial distribution, calculate the probability function of X when n = 2. Calculate the mean and the standard deviation of X.
