A couple decides to keep having children until they have a boy, at which point they will stop having children. They also agree to having a maximum of three children. The table below shows the probability distribution of X = the number of children such a couple would have. X = # of children 1 3 %3D 1 1 1 P(X) 4 4 On average, how many children would such a couple have? E(X)=| children
