Mr. Smith has two children. If the older child is a boy, what are the odds that the other child is also a boy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 50% Because 2 people are there and if 1 is a boy there's a 50% chance that there's another boy. For example you had 2 gumballs in a gumball machine. You picked one up. There would be chances of picking up 1 of the other. So there's a 50% chance of picking a gumball. :D hope this helps.
