The probability of having a boy or a girl is always 50/50 because the female has to X sex chromosomes and the male has one X and one Y sex chromosome. If you do a Punnet Square, there will be two squares with XY and two squares with XX. With four squares in all that makes a 50/50 chance.

What is the probability of having 2 boys and 1 girl?

The probability of having 2 boys and 1 girl in a family with three children can be calculated using the binomial probability formula. Assuming the probability of having a boy or a girl is equal (1/2 each), the probability of having 2 boys and 1 girl can be found by considering the different combinations (BBG, BGB, GBB). Therefore, the probability is ( \frac{3}{8} ) or 37.5%.
