What is the probability of having 7 girls in a row?
It depends on the context. In a girls' school, it is pretty close to 1 whereas in a boys' school it will be 0.
What is the probability of having three dauthers in a row?
Each chance of a having a girl is 50% or 1/2. Three different children are separate events and so multiplying the chance all three together gives 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2= 1/8. 1 in 8 chances will someone have three girls in a row.

What is the probability of a woman giving birth to 6 daughters in a row?
Theoretically we might imagine that the probability that a woman would give birth to a daughter would be 1/2. With this assumption then the probability would be 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = (1/2)6 = 1/26 = 1/64However, there are other considerations:The ratio of boys to girls at birth varies by country. (The most boys to girls occurs in-wait for it-Liechtenstein.) This means that the probability of giving birth to six girls in a row in some country would be less, in others maybe more.If a women gave birth to three girls in a row then you would have some grounds for suspecting that there could be something about her and her partner that favours the conceptions of girls. If this were true then the probability of there being six girls in a row would be much higher.
