    0.3723

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since the number of girls = X

    Probability of girls p = 0.53

    Probability of boys q = 0.47

    Number of observation n = 4

    A) conditions for binomial distribution are

    1: The number of observations n must be fixed.

    2: Each observation is independent. 3: Each observation represents one of two outcomes ("success" or "failure").

    B) for the question n = 4

    p (probability of success for girls) = 0.53

    C) n=4, r (number of trials) = 2

    Using binomial expansion

    4C2 * (p) ² * (q) ² = 6 * (0.53) ² * (0.47) ²

    = 0.3723

    Therefore, the probability of the family having two boys and two girls is 0.3723.
