He goes on to say that since there are five outcomes in the sample space, and since each child is eaually iikely to be a boy or girl, all five outcomes must be equally ieiy. Therefore, the probability of all four children being girls is 1/5. Explain the flaw in his reasoning. The argument is only correct if each child is equally likely to be a boy or girl. O The outcomes are not equally likely. O The sample space has less than 5 possible outcomes. O The sample space has more than 5 possible outcomes.arrow_forwardTwo standard 6 sided dice are rolled.
