The gene for blue eyes is recessive, meaning that both parents must carry it, and that the child must inherit both blue genes. That means that the chance that a child in any given family will have blue eyes is 1/4 and it also means that what happens with one child is independent of what happens with another child in the same family. If there are 4 children in a specific family, what is the chance that exactly three of the children have blue eyes? 0.2500 0.0879 0.0469 0.0146
