##### Scenario A classic conditional-probability brain-teaser used in data science screens to test probabilistic reasoning and the discipline of stating assumptions before computing. ##### Question A family has two children. You learn that at least one of them is a boy. 1. What is the probability that both children are boys? Explain your reasoning and state your assumptions clearly. 2. How does the answer change if instead you are told that the older (first) child is a boy? 3. How does the answer change if a child is selected at random from the family and that child turns out to be a boy? ##### Hints Enumerate the equally likely ordered outcomes BB, BG, GB, GG, then condition on the given information by removing the outcomes it rules out. Pay close attention to *how* the information was obtained — different selection mechanisms produce different answers.
