As T increases, we expect the average number of children per family to converge. Use BoysAndGirls to formulate a hypothesis as to what this average is. Run BoysAndGirls with T = 1, 10, 100, 100000 and 1000000 to watch it converge to a sufficiently accurate estimate. Include your experimental results and hypothesis in the header portion of BoysAndGirls.java.% java BoysAndGirls 2 Average: 6.0 children to get at least one of each sex.
