yes a gender is a categorical variable
Categorical data (or variable) consists of names representing categories. For example, the gender (categories of male & female) of the people where you work or go to school; or the make of cars in the parking lot (categories of Ford, GM, Toyota, Mazda, KIA, etc) is categorical data. Numerical data (or variable) consists of numbers that represent counts or measurements. For example, the number of males & females where you work or go to school; or the number of the make of cars Ford, GM, Toyota, Mazda, KIA, etc is numerical data.
Gender is nominal. Nominal is categorical only; no ordering scheme. Ordinal level of measurement places some order on the data, but the differences between the data can't be determined or are meaningless.
Assuming that the births at the hospital are equally likely to be of either gender then the answer is (1/2)4 = 1/16
It is a variable which usually the values 0 and 1 depending on the presence and absence of a particular factor in a set of trails. Similarly, the gender of a person could be coded as 0 (= Male) and 1 (= Female) - or the other way around. The actual coding does not matter but it allows for comparisons between the two sub-sets of the population.

Nominal (categorical), and Dependent (it is measured and accounted for, but a researcher cannot manipulate gender).
No, it is not.
Categorical variables take on a limited and at times a fixed number of value possibilities. If in fields such as Compute Science or Mathematics, they are referred to as enumerated types. In some cases possible values of a variable may be classified as levels.
