    Error in the problem solution. In the family in total will be 8 people including parents. Assuming one parent is male and another is female, we get update on the proportion of boys:girls among that family's childrens, because overall weighted proportion (including 1:1 for parents and some x:y for children) should match 1.09:1. So basically x:y proportion for children should be changed and we should get another answer (different from correct one in the submission).

    I'm getting .696 which is not accepted.

    20 * (109/209) ^ 3 * (1-(109/209))^3 + 15 * (109/209) ^ 4 * (1-(109/209))^2 + 6 * (109/209) ^ 5 * (1-(109/209))^1 + 1 * (109/209) ^ 6 * (1-(109/209))^0

    What am I doing wrong?

    Keep in mind that your answer is supposed to have exactly 3 digits after decimal point and be rounded away from zero. This is not clarified in the problem's description.

    I am getting the wrong answer but i think i am doing in right way. Can anybody help me or tell me the correct answer

    My R code is

    dbinom(3, size=6, prob=109/209)+dbinom(4, size=6, prob=109/209)+dbinom(5, size=5, prob=109/209)+dbinom(6, size=6, prob=109/209)

    and my answer is

    0.6235209

      In general, you might find it iseful to go through some of these notes on distributions. Some of these problems are based on some of those notes
