1. Total outcomes: With 4 children, there are 16 possible combinations (since each child has a 50-50 chance of being a boy or girl).
2. Scenario A (2 boys, 2 girls):
There are 6 different ways this can happen (e.g., boy-boy-girl-girl, boy-girl-boy-girl, etc.).
3. Scenario B (3 of one gender, 1 of the other):
There are 8 different ways this can happen (e.g., boy-boy-boy-girl or girl-girl-girl-boy).
4. Conclusion:
Scenario B (3 of one gender, 1 of the other) is more likely, with 8 possible outcomes compared to 6 for Scenario A.
