What is the probability of a family with 6 kids having fewer boys than girls?

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 required probability is 0.3126.

What is the probability of a family having a boy after four girls?
The probability of a boy is still 0.5 no matter how many prior children there are.
What is the probability of having 2 girls and 3 boys in a five child family?
1/32
What is the probability that no girls?
We would need to know the number of children in the family to answer this question. For instance, the probability of having no girls in a family of two children would be 1/4 theoretically. In general it is 2-n where n is the number of children.
What is the probability that the 6 child family has exactly two girls?
The probability is 2 - 6
What is the probability of having three girls in a row?
you have a 75% chance
What is the probability of a family having a boy after four girls?

The probability that a family with 3 children has 3 girls assuming that having boys and girls are equally likely?
50%
What is the probability of a family with six children having three boys and three girls?
50/50
What is the probability of having 2 girls and 3 boys in a five child family?
1/32

What is the probability that out of 250 babies born 140 or fewer will be boys?
Assuming boys are equally as likely as girls, 125 boys would be expected. The probability of getting 140 or fewer boys is approximately 97.51%
What is the probability that the 6 child family has exactly two girls?
The probability is 2 - 6
What is the probability of having 3 baby girls in a row?
Assuming that the probability of having a baby girl is 1/2 and that of having a baby boy is 1/2, the probability of having 3 baby girls in a row is (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)=1/8.
What is the probability of having three girls in a row?
you have a 75% chance
What is the probability of getting 3 girls in a family of 10 children?
The probability of exactly 3 girls in a family of 10 children, assuming equal chance of a boy or girl, is 0.1172. This is a binomial distribution.
What is the probability of a couple having a girl?
It depends on the couples' genes. Also, at present the probability of a girls is approx 0.48
What is the probability that in a family of four children that all four children are girls?
The probably of four girls in a family with four children is 1/16. I got this answer because: Probability of a girl is 1/2 and to get all girls you would multiply it by 1/2 for the rest of the girls.
