A women gives birth to a son two years later she gives birth to another son what is the probability that her third child will be a girl?
There are no relationship between this 3 events, the probability to give birth to a girl can not be deduce from previous birth given by a women. So the probability that the third child will be a girl is the same for this woman as for any other woman, no matter what happened before. It's like rolling a dice, if one gets an ace and an ace, it does not change the chance to get another ace for the third roll, or a 2, or a 3,.... All the roll results are independent if the dice is not loaded
What is the probability of having exactly 8 boys in 10 births?
For each birth, you have two choices - either a boy or a girl. Then, the probability for a certain birth to obtain a choice is ½. Using Binomial Theorem, we have (10 choose 8)(½)8(½)² = 45/1024.
In a classroom the students are 11 boys and 1 girl if one student is selected at random find the probability that the student is a girl?
There is only one girl out of 12 students so the probability that the girl is selected is 1/12.
What is the probability of a couple having a girl?
It depends on the couples' genes. Also, at present the probability of a girls is approx 0.48
What is a probability that a child would be a girl versus a boy?
It would depend on the parents' genes and age. Globally, the probability is approx 0.483
