Find the probability of getting exactly one healthy child and one sick child a. What is the sample space? L (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) b. Find the probability of getting two healthy children (Type an exact answer.) c. Find the probability of getting one healthy child and one sick child (Type an exact answer.)
