Bear cubs problem - Male Bears Probability | Follow us There are two bears - white and dark. We may reasonably ask several questions: What is the probability that both bears are male? Writing 'm' for male and 'f' for female and counting the lighter bear first we get four possible outcomes (ff, mf, fm, mm) of which only one should be considered favorable. The answer, therefore, is 1/4.
