The probability of a family having five boys in a row, assuming the chance of having a boy or a girl is equal (50% each), can be calculated using the formula for independent events. The probability is (0.5^5), which equals (1/32) or approximately 3.125%. Therefore, while it is not extremely common, it is certainly possible for a family to have five boys in a row.
