So as EO hasn't added another question.
What came first the chicken or the egg?

oo oo I know this, the answer is the egg, I only know this because there was a documentary on Quarks & Co. a few weeks back here on German TV, however, as my German language skills are not 100% then I failed to fully understand the reasoning why.Originally posted by eek View Post
Ahh here it is Wer war zuerst da - das Huhn oder das Ei? - Quarks & Co - WDR Fernsehen
and after using the magic of google translate the answer is because eggs have been around much longer than chickens have.The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

The correct way to approach questions like this is to work out the sample space.
Scenario 1: One of a 2 child family is a girl, probabilty the other is a girl.
Sample space:
BG
GB
GG
the question is asking whats the probability of GG - the answer is 1/3
Scenario 2: The first of a 2 child family is a girl, probability the second is also a girl
Sample space:
GB
GG
Probability of GG is 1/2
Seems simple but not working out the sample space leads you to use your intuition and interestingly human intuition is crap in probabalistic situations.Hard Brexit now!

Incorrect. In your samples more than one is a girl and the question states that *one* is a girl, not at least one.Originally posted by sasguru View PostComment
