what is the probability for a family with 5 children to have two boys and 3 girls ( assuming the probability of having a boy or a girl is equal ) ? Select the correct option.
A) 1 / 2	B) 1 / 4	C) 3 / 8	D) 3 / 16	E) 5 / 16

Rationale: one possible case is : girl - girl - girl - boy - boy the probability of this is 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 32 there are 5 c 3 = 10 such cases so we should multiply by 10 . p ( two boys and three girls ) = 10 / 32 = 5 / 16 the answer is e .
Answer: E
