(i) To Find: Write the sample space for the given experiment. 

Explanation: Here, The family has 2 children 

Let us Assume Boy = B 

Let us Assume Girl = G 

So, The number of sample spaces for 2 children is 22=4 

Sample space are, S={(B1, B2), (G1, G2), (G1, B2), (B1, G2)} 

Where , number 1 and 2 are represent elder and younger. 

Hence, S is the sample space for given experiment. 

(ii) Explanation: Here, The family has 2 children, So the possibility of boys in a family is:

(a) No boys only girl 

(b) One boy and one girl 

(c) Two boys only 

So, The Sample space for the given condition is: 

S={0, 1, 2} 

Hence, S is the sample spaces for the given experiment.
