Hehe, I'll try and explain.

As an event, there is a 1 in 4 chance of a child having CAH.

I think we're all happy with that!

With consecutive probability, the likelihood of a second repeat result is worked out by raising the probability to the power.

e.g. If I flip a coin, I have a 1 in 2 chance that it will be heads - 0.5 in decimal.

If I flip that coin again, I once again have a 1 in 2 chance that it will be heads or tails WHEN CONSIDERED AS A SINGLE EVENT, but the likelihood of 2 heads in a row overall is

0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 i.e. 1 in 4.

That's why :).

Regards


Rick
