Depends, but assuming that you take the occurances of girls and boys born to be equal (Which for all intents and purposes they are).

The number of possibilities is 5C2

which is worked out from the formula 5!/2!(5-2)!

=120/12

=10

Each of the possibilities are 1/2*5 = 1/32

So the total possibility is 10/32
