The male determines the sex of the child and some men are more likely to sire one sex or the other. But, no matter what sex children he's had in the past, his next child is as likely to be a boy or a girl as his first.

What has happened in the past does not affect the odds in the future. That is a man's chances of having a boy after having two girls is the same as it was when he had his first girl. But, because he's had two girls it may suggest he's more likely to sire girls than boys.

What are the chances for acouple to have 2 girls and a boy if they have 3 children?

The chances of a couple having 2 girls and 1 boy among 3 children can be calculated using the probability of each combination. Assuming each child is equally likely to be a boy or a girl, the probability of having 2 girls and 1 boy is given by the binomial probability formula. There are three possible arrangements for 2 girls and 1 boy (GGB, GBG, BGG), making the probability approximately 3 out of 8, or 37.5%.

What is a four child family's odds against having four boys?

The odds of a four-child family having four boys can be calculated using the probability of each child being a boy, which is typically 1/2. Therefore, the probability of having four boys in a row is (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/16. This means the odds against having four boys are 15 to 1, as there are 15 other combinations of boys and girls possible in four children.
