It depends on the context: if you select a child at random from a girls' school, the probability is 0, while if it is at a boys' school it is 1!

What is the probability that a family continue to have children until they have a boy will have more than three children?

The answer to this is 1 minus the probability that they will have 3 or fewer children. This would happen only if they had a boy as the first, second or third child. The probability they have a boy as first child is 0.5 The probability they have a boy as second is 0.25 The probability they have a boy as third is 0.125 Thus the total probability is 0.875 And so the probability they will have more than three children is 1-0.875 or 0.125


A woman 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.?

The probability of the third child being a girl is independent of the genders of the first two children. In general, the probability of having a girl (or a boy) is typically considered to be about 50%. Therefore, the probability that her third child will be a girl remains 50%.

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.

What is the probability of having 8 children that the 9 child will be a boy?

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 it is the probability of a boy, which is approx 0.52
