Mary’s Tuesday Boy Probability
Mary has 2 children. She tells you that one is a boy born on a tuesday. What's the probability the other child is a girl? That's right. It's 66.6% It's 51.8%
Two men discuss a probability puzzle about Mary’s two children, with one being a boy born on a Tuesday. The joke is that the first answer, 66.6%, is confidently corrected to the more accurate 51.8%, poking fun at misleading or overly simplistic probability reasoning.
