Since the probability of having a son is about 1/2, the probability of the first 4 children being boys is about (1/2)4.
Make a punnet square with the mother above, her genotype would be: X^B X^b, and the father to the left whose genotype is X^b Y.The probability of having a colorblind CHILD is 50%. The probability of them having a SON is 50%. Since we are asked what the probability of their SON being colorblind, it is 50% as well. The reason is because the chance of having a colorblind son, among sons only, (according to the punnet square) is 50%.
Yes, each child's sex is determined independently, so having a son previously does not affect the probability of having a son or daughter in the future. The chance of having a son or daughter each time is about 50%.
The chance of a couple having five daughters in a row can be calculated assuming that the probability of having a daughter or a son is equal (50% for each). Therefore, the probability of having five daughters in a row is (0.5^5), which equals 1 in 32, or about 3.125%. While this is a statistical probability, actual outcomes can vary due to genetic and environmental factors.
1-.015 = .985
Equiprobable, but I would stick with simplicity of communication and go with "having the same probability".
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.

1-.015 = .985
The probability of having a girl versus a boy is 1/2 because there is two things you have a chance of getting and you can only get one or the other.
