The correct answer is:
$\frac{15}{16}$
Total possibility of 4 children, either girl or boy is $2^{4}$ $=16$. Out of these there is one possibility in which there will be no boy and only girls. So, total possibility of at least one boy is $16-1=15$
$\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}($ at least one boy $)=\frac{15}{16}$.
$\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{P}($ at least one boy $)=\frac{15}{16}$.
