Mrs Gabriel is pregnant. The probability that she will give birth to a girl is 12\frac12 and the probability that the baby will have blue eyes is 14\frac14. What is the probability that she will give birth to a girl with blue eyes?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The baby's sex and eye colour are independent.
  2. For "a girl and blue eyes", multiply: 12×14=18\frac12 \times \frac14 = \frac18, option C.
