If you saw a problem that said "What is the probability that of three children, all are girls or boys?", would you interpret as:

So badly phrased! But yeah, what boundbooks said, simply because the first option is too "easy" and probability questions almost never seek a 1 or 0 answer.

Ahah, if I see similar phrasing on tomorrow's exam & my brain doesn't turn on all the way/it takes forever to ask for clarification, I am just going to say fuck it and write BOTH ANSWERS.
