Suppose your neighbor have two children.
(a) What is the probability that both children are boys?
(b) Suppose that one of his children, Joe, is a boy. What is the probability that both children are boys?
(c) Further suppose that Joe is the elder children. What is the probability that both children are boys?
(d) Forget the assumptions we’ve made in (b) and (c). Now suppose you went to knock on your neighbor’s door, and one of his children opened the door for you. If the child who opened the door is a boy, what is the probability that both children are boys?
