For Q.1

Given the 0.72 is the result of joint probability of the 2 events as mentioned in question. Now Ben's father has been promote. Thus, the probability of Ben's father to take him to Ocean Park should be:
= 0.72 / 0.8 x 1
= 0.9
====


For Q.2
Given children are not all boys, there are 2 probailities as follows:
1. All 2 are daughters
2. 1 daughter and 1 boy

In view of the above, there are 2 equal chances for each of above events
i.e. 1 / 2
= 0.5
