What is the probability for a family with five children to have two boys and three girls (assuming the probability of having a boy or a girl is equal)?  Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 1/2	B) 1/4	C) 3/8	D) 3/16	E) 5/16
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 5C3 = 10 such cases so we should multiply by 10.   P(two boys and three girls) = 10/32 = 5/16   The answer is 5/16.
