Detailed Solution

Given a data gathered from 1500 families.
Question ImageWe have to find the probability of the randomly chosen family that has 2 girls.
The probability of an event A is given by,
P(A)= Number of favourable outcomes Total number of outcomes  
Total number of outcomes, n(S) = 1500.
Let C   be the event that a family has two girls.
n(C)=475  
The probability that the family has 2 girls is given by,
P(C)= n(C) n(S) P(C)= 475 1500 P(C)= 95 300 P(C)= 19 60  
Thus, the probability for two girls is 19 60  .
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
