Acutally the chances of having a boy are 51% and a girl 49%. The odds stay pretty close to 50% for each child and only vary slightly. If you have had 2 or 3 boys, you are only about 2% to 6% more likely to have another boy. If you have had girls, you are slightly more likely to have a boy next.

What is the probability of giving birth to a baby girl?

You have a 1 in 2 chance of having a girl. No matter how many boys you have had in the past or how many girls you have had in the past, each pregnancy presents the opportunity to have a girl or a boy with a 50% chance. The sperm does not know that it had already produced ,say, 5 boys and needs to produce a girl for you and your partner. So with every pregnancy there is a 50% chance you will have a girl and a 50% chance you will have a boy.


What is the probability of having a baby boy?

The sex of a child is determined by male sperm. There are only two sexes, so there is an equal (50-50) chance of having a boy or girl.


What are the chances of having a girl after having 3 boys?

(assuming that the probability of having a girl or a boy is 50/50) Looking from beforehand, the probability of having three boys then a girl is the probability of each of these events happening multiplied together. That is 50% x 50% x 50% x 50% or 0.54 This would mean that the chance of having a girl after three boys is 0.0625. If you've already had the three boys though, it is a different story. The point is that previous experiences do not affect future ones; probability has no memory. Thus the probability of having a girl next is 50%, regardless of if you've had boys or girls in the past. To think otherwise is known as the gambler's fallacy, where a gambler says "black has come up 4 times in a row, it must be red next" even though the chance of red is always 50%


What is probability how you use or solve probability?

Probability is the chance (in percentage or decimal) of a particular event to happen. lets say that you tossed a coin. the possible events to happen are ending up with heads or tails. the probability of having a head is 50% or .5 while the probability of having a tails is 50% or .5. to solve for the probability, divide the particular event with the total number of possible events. ex. what is the probability of getting a 3 when you rolled a dice? particular event= having a 3= 1 event total number of events= having either a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6= 6 events particular event/ total number of events= 1/6 hoped i helped!
