What is the probability if a girl is expecting her 10Th child if rest 9 are girls?

Since having a child to a child is an independent event (assuming no outside intervention), the probability is still about 50 / 50 boy or girl.


When a family of seven boys and no girls is expecting an eighth child what is the probability of the next child being a girl?

If the gender of a child were an independent variable then the genders of the existing children would be irrelevant and so the probability of the next child being a girl would be approximately 1/2.It would be approximately 1/2 because the overall proportion is not exactly half. However, and more important, is the fact that the gender of a child is affected by the parents' genes and so is not independent of the gender of previous children.


What is the probability of a couple having four children in the following order girl girl girl boy?

It is not possible to answer the question because:the total number of children that the couple had is not known;the gender of the child depends [mainly] on the father, and is not 0.5;the gender of each child is not independent of the gender of previous children.


What is the probability that a family of 4 would have 3 boys and 1 girl?

There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability of three boys and a girl is 0.2669.

There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.However, if you assume that children's genders are independent events then, given that the probability of a girl is approx 0.48.

What is the probability that parents that have 2 boys and one girl will have a girl next?

There is not enough information on the propensity for the parents to have a child of either gender and so it is necessary to assume that the probability of the gender of the next child is independent of the genders of preceding children. In that case the probability of the next child being a girl is 1/2.There is not enough information on the propensity for the parents to have a child of either gender and so it is necessary to assume that the probability of the gender of the next child is independent of the genders of preceding children.

Oh, dude, the probability of the next child being a girl is still 50/50. Each birth is like a coin flip - it doesn't matter what came before. So, you could have a dozen girls in a row and the next one could still be a girl. It's all just random chance, man.
