A—the middle child is a girl
C—the three children are of the same gender
In the box below, answer the following:
- What are the possible outcomes for each of these events?
- Do the events share any of the outcomes? (i.e., is there an overlap between the two events?)
- Based on ii, are the events disjoint or not?
