There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.
However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability of the other two being boys is 0.4994
There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability of three boys and a girl is 0.2669.

There is only one girl out of 12 students so the probability that the girl is selected is 1/12.
There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. A family of 4 is a family of two parents and two children. The probability that both children are girls is 0.2334

These events are independent; so the probability of a girl is 0.5.
if we assume that the probability for a girl being born is the same as a boy being born: (1/2)^6 = 0.015625 = 1.5625%
The probability of an individual having either a male or female can not be altered. There is always a 50/50 chance of having a boy or girl. It is not a genetic trait to have one of the other.
50%....maybe you're not cut out for college....

If the choice is unbiased, the change is 14/(10+14). If the chooser prefers choosing boys, the probability is 0.
Probability equals the number of ways an event can occur divided by the total number of events. The total number of events is (b=boy, g=girl) is bb, bg, gb, gg. The probability is then 1/4.
Assuming the probability of having a boy is 1/2, and that the probabilities are independent: Probability of 1 girl and 12 boys = (1/2)13 * 13 = 0.001587..., which is around 1/630
There is only one girl out of 12 students so the probability that the girl is selected is 1/12.
