If 8 women are pregnant what is the probability that there will be 4 boys and what is the probability that at least 7 girls will be born?
Assuming that the probability of 1 woman have a boy is .5
Binomial Distribution can be used to solve the problem.
b(k;n,p)
= (n choose k) p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)
k= number of boys
n= number of trials
p= probability of boy
Assume p is equal to probability of having a boy
First question we are looking for four boys. ie k=4
n = 10
=(10 choose 4) 0.5^4 * (1-.5)^4
= 0.8203
Question 2)
At least 7 girls means 1 boy or 0 boys will be born
Case 1) 0 boys born
Use binomial
(10 choose 0) 0.5^0 * (1-.5)^8
= 0.00390625
Case 2) 1 boy born
(10 choose 1) 0.5^1 * (0.5)^7
=0.0390625
Case 1 + Case 2= 0.04296875 Probability of at least 7 girls

What is the probability of a woman giving birth to 6 daughters in a row?
Theoretically we might imagine that the probability that a woman would give birth to a daughter would be 1/2. With this assumption then the probability would be 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = (1/2)6 = 1/26 = 1/64However, there are other considerations:The ratio of boys to girls at birth varies by country. (The most boys to girls occurs in-wait for it-Liechtenstein.) This means that the probability of giving birth to six girls in a row in some country would be less, in others maybe more.If a women gave birth to three girls in a row then you would have some grounds for suspecting that there could be something about her and her partner that favours the conceptions of girls. If this were true then the probability of there being six girls in a row would be much higher.
Is there a higher probability of twins for women over 40?
Yes, because after 35 your probability for having multiple births goes up.
A nursing class has 13 women and 18 men If a student is chosen randomly to be the team leader what is the probability the student is a woman?
The probability that a randomly chosen student is a woman can be calculated by dividing the number of women by the total number of students in the class. In this case, there are 13 women and 31 total students, so the probability is 13/31, which simplifies to approximately 0.419 or 41.9%.
