We are given here that: P(girl) = 0.5, therefore P(boy) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

a) The number of girls in a family of 4 could be modelled here as a binomial distribution given as:

Therefore the probability distribution of X here is obtained as: (Using the binomial probability function
)

This is the required probability distribution here.

b) For the above binomial distribution, the mean and the standard deviation are computed as:

Therefore 2 is the required mean here.

Therefore 1 is the required standard deviation here.
