The probabilities are given below:

  • The probability that the first son is normal is 1/4
  • probability first daughter is normal = 1/2
  • Probability = 1/4

How to solve for the probability

For females we have the following data

50% = normal,  50% = carriers; 100%= normal vision

50% males = color blind ;50% = normal

a.The probability of having a normal first son

p(first son)  = ½

Prob( normal)= ½

=½ x ½

= 1/4 0r 0.25

b . probability first daughter is normal

Probability of the first being a girl  = ½

Prob(normal ) =  1

½ x 1 = 1/2

c. color blind

= 1/2 x 1/2

= 1/4
