In one nation, having a daughter is traditionally prefferable to having a son. Therefore, a couple will continue to have children until a daughter is born. Once they have a daughter, they will stop. (Assume that it is possible for a couple to have an unlimited number of children)
If the chance of a boy or a girl being born is equal, what would be the ratio boys to girls in this country?
when i say 1/2, i mean 1:1.
