Genetic disease

One genetic disease was tested positive in both parents of one family. It has been known that any child in this family has a 25% risk of inheriting the disease. A family has three children. What is the probability of this family having one child who inherited this genetic disease?

Correct answer:

p =  0.4219

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} C_1(3)=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{3}{1}\right)=\frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}=\frac{3}{1}=3 \\ q=25\%=\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 \\ n=3 \\ k=1 \\ p=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{k}\right)\cdot q^k\cdot (1-q{)}^{n-k}=3\cdot 0.25^1\cdot (1-0.25{)}^{3-1}=0.4219 \end{gathered}$$
