Assume that a child has an equal chance of being born on any month and of either gender (male, female). Let \( p \) be the probability that given that a family has two children and at least one of them is a girl, both are girls. Furthermore, let \( q \) be the probability that given that a family has two children and at least one of them is a girl born in April, that both are girls. Does \( p = q \)?
