What is the probability of a couple having at least four girls if they have six children?
3 out of 7
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 six children that all six children are girls?
1 in 64
What is the probability of a child being a boy?
It depends on the context: if you select a child at random from a girls' school, the probability is 0, while if it is at a boys' school it is 1!
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 having exactly 2 boys out of 6 children?
The answer depends on whether the children are picked at random. If they were selected from inside a girls' school the probability should be quite close to 0. Likewise, if the children were picked inside a boys' school. If six children are picked at random from a large group of children with an equal number of boys and girls, then the answer is 6C2*(1/2)6 = 15/32 = 0.47, approx.
What is the probability of a couple giving birth to five girls in a row?
Probability of girl, assumed to be 0.5. Therefore, probability of 5 girls is 0.5^5 or 0.03125.
If a family has three children find the probability that two of the children are girls?
there is a 50% chance that two of them will be girls

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.
What is the probability that a couple would have a family of four children two boys and two girls and in that order?
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 in all cases, the overall probability is 0.0624.

What if a class of 25 students has 15 girls and boys if one student is chosen at random what is the probability it is a girl?
The probability is 15/25 = 3/5

There are 10 boys and 12 girls in a class if one student is selected at random from the class what is the probability it is a girl?
The probability is the number of girls divided by the number of students, so 12/22, or 6/11
