A family has five children The possibility of having a girl is 1 over 2 What is the probability of having 3 girls followed by 2 boys?
There is no proper answer to the question. The children's gender are not independent events: they are affected, among other things by the father's genes and the mother's age. Also, the true probability of a girl is 0.48, not 0.5. However, if you ignore reality, then the answer is (1/2)5 = 1/32.

Mr and mrs.jain have 5 children of these five half are boys .how is this possible?
This situation is possible if Mr. and Mrs. Jain have a total of five children, and out of these five, two and a half are boys. The phrase "half are boys" doesn't necessarily mean that there is a child who is only half a boy; rather, it implies that there are two boys among the five children, which is half of the total number of children. The wording can be a bit confusing, but it's a play on the fractions to convey the information that two out of five children are boys.

What is the probability that all of the children in a family of five children will be boys?
The genders of children within the same family are not independent. So the answer will depends on the pattern of children's gender in the family's ancestry, as well as the age of the parents. However, if you make the unreasonable and unjustified assumption that the genders are independent and that the probability of either gender is 1/2, then the answer is (1/2)5 = 1/32.
