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.
1/32
The statement can be true if the family has a total of five children, with two boys and three girls. The phrase "half of which are boys" can also be interpreted as meaning that two out of the five children are boys, which is indeed half of four, but not of five. Therefore, the family can have five children with two being boys, fulfilling the conditions of the question.

There is no proper answer to the question. The children's gender are not independent events: they are affected, among other things by the father's genes and the mother's age. Also, the true probability of a girl is 0.48, not 0.5. However, if you ignore reality, then the answer is (1/2)5 = 1/32.
