You select a family with four children. If M represents a male child and F a female child,
the set of equally likely outcomes for the children’s genders is {FFFF, FFFM, FFMF,
FMFF, MFFF, MFFM, MFMF, MMFF, FFMM, FMFM, FMMF, FMMM, MFMM,
MMFM, MMMF, MMMM}. Find the probability of selecting a family with exactly four
female children.
The probability of having exactly four female children is
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

There are a total of 16 equally likely outcomes in the set, as each child can either be male (M) or female (F), leading to
outcomes. Among these, only one outcome has exactly four females: FFFF.
To find the probability, you would take the number of successful outcomes (1) and divide it by the total number of outcomes (16):
So the probability of selecting a family with exactly four female children is
