there is a 50% chance that two of them will be girls
The probably of four girls in a family with four children is 1/16. I got this answer because: Probability of a girl is 1/2 and to get all girls you would multiply it by 1/2 for the rest of the girls.
50%
Assuming that boys and girls are equally likely, it is 11/16.

The probability of exactly 3 girls in a family of 10 children, assuming equal chance of a boy or girl, is 0.1172. This is a binomial distribution.

We would need to know the number of children in the family to answer this question. For instance, the probability of having no girls in a family of two children would be 1/4 theoretically. In general it is 2-n where n is the number of children.
It is 3/8.
The probability of a boy is still 0.5 no matter how many prior children there are.

The probability is1 - [Prob(No children) + Prob(1 child, a girl) + Prob(2 children, both girls) + Prob(3 children, all girls) + ...]Not all relevant information is readily available.
Assuming that boys and girls are equally likely, it is 11/16.

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. A family of 4 is a family of two parents and two children. The probability that both children are girls is 0.2334
